A 1-0 loss at Aston Villa on Tuesday means Arsenal have finished below north London rivals Tottenham once more and head coach Mikel Arteta will demand a response as they look to build momentum ahead of the FA Cup final next month. They face an opponent in turmoil, with Watford needing to avoid defeat to harbour any hopes of securing their Premier League safety. They have won two of their last four league matches, but away from home, they are winless in seven, losing six. Arsenal are favourites to land all three points and should have enough about them to secure a result that potentially sends Watford down. 3:1
Arsenal have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 home matches against Watford in all competitions.
Mikel Arteta must do without Bernd Leno, Calum Chambers, Pablo Mari, Gabriel Martinelli and Shkodran Mustafi for the final day welcome of Watford. Reiss Nelson and Mesut Ozil will be assessed, but Matteo Guendouzi remains absent having been disciplined by the club. After a disappointing performance at Aston Villa, Arteta is expected to ring the changes, with Kieran Tierney, Granit Xhaka and Nicolas Pepe among those set to come into the side. Hayden Mullins has no fresh injury issues for their must-win trip to Arsenal and remains without Daryl Janmaat, Isaac Success, Gerard Deulofeu and Etienne Capoue. He could make a couple of changes to the side that was dismantled by Manchester City on Tuesday. Indeed, Nathaniel Chalobah and Danny Welbeck are two who are expected to start here.
