Line-Ups: Arsenal v Watford: Holding & Torreira start for Gunners
Arsenal will be hoping to continue our recent good run of results when we take on Watford at the Emirates this afternoon.
Sokratis isn’t risked due to a dead leg that he picked up last weekend so Rob Holding keeps his place alongside Shkodran Mustafi in defence. Hector Bellerin gets a recall along with Lucas Torreira, Granit Xhaka and Mesut Ozil.
Aaron Ramsey also starts amid speculation surrounding his future while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joins Alexandre Lacazette in attack with Danny Welbeck dropping out.
These are the teams for the game:
Arsenal
Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Monreal, Torreira, Xhaka, Ozil, Ramsey, Aubameyang, Lacazette
Subs: Mkhitaryan, Lichtsteiner, Iwobi, Leno, Welbeck, Guendouzi, Kolasinac
Watford
Foster, Navarro, Catchcart, Kabasele, Holebas, Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra, Gray, Deeney
Subs: Gomes, Mariappa, Femenia, Masina, Chalobah, Sema, Success
