Arsenal desperately need to come away with all three points when we take on Watford at Vicarage Road in today’s 4.30pm kick-off.

Bukayo Saka is named on the bench along with Gabriel Martinelli and Reiss Nelson while David Luiz continues alongside Sokratis in defence with Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac in the full-back positions.
