Watford to host Arsenal Amid Relegation Battle

With one draw, which followed a defeat, Watford’s recent form has not been great. They will be looking to return to winning ways in this next match.

Also, getting out of a relegation battle requires a string of positive results, but Roy Hodgson’s men know that 14 losses in 20 matches is a run of form that will be hard to turn around. Their position is nineteenth in the League and they have 19 points, that is, 5W, 17L and 4D having won five fixtures, drawn four matches, and lost 17 games.

When Watford host Arsenal, they will do so on the back of two wins, one draw, and 10 losse on their own ground.

Watford will have 22 points so far this season, should they secure a win.

It is likely that four key players will miss Sunday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Roy Hodgson and his Watford team.

Arsenal’s Premier League season, has so far seen them gain 45 points, going into this game

Can Arsenal make it three out of three, having turned over Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 and Brentford 2-1 in their last two games?

Also, Arsenal keep finding ways to win, having secured 13 victories in their last 20 matches is astonishing this season. They currently stand sixth in the League, with 45 points for a total of 14 wins, 7 losses and 3 draws having won 14 games, drawn three fixtures, and lost seven meetings.

Arsenal’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Watford. In the 11 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won five fixtures, drawn one game, and lost five meetings.

Victory for Arsenal would take their points tally to 48 so far this season.

Good Attacking Performance

Arsenal will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (38). Their stand out attacking players have been Gabriel Magalhaes (1), Bukayo Saka (1), and Alexandre Lacazette (1). Arsenal have conceded 27 goals.
