Team News

Arsenal
Watford
  • 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.

Prediction

  • 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.

  • perhaps mr. deeneys wife can design a nice championship logo for the boys to wear next season? put a little trademark on it maybe

  • Gonna be sad to see the PL without Watford next season...some fantastic players like Dawson, Sara, Deeny, Foster, Welback, and Delores...they should never have sacked Pearson...goodbye Watford, destroyer of invincible Liverpool, and good luck :(

  • @Olegend20 I hope Dawson goes down with them, a true non-league chancer.

  • @What4 actually I agree

  • Arsenal might have got relegated this season if they didn't have Auba

  • @arcglenum Well, Leno and Martinez too.

  • Nice acrobatic goal from Pierre Emerick, almost almost in Ibra's style on his peak.

  • This is easy money 3-0 up after 35 minutes :)

  • 4-1

  • @nexus747 I'll be shocked if Arsenal didn't win 4-1

  • Bet of the day has to be Arsenal at 2.05 odds.They are fielding a very strong side against a very poor Watford.

  • 3-0

  • Can't believe they did Nigel Pearson like that. Watford this season with Nigel Pearson: 12th; without him: 20th, even less PPM than Norwich overall. Real class to sack him with 2 matches to go, when there was still a good chance of success. Also really smart since now the team plays even worse when it matter most. Enjoy relegation, you deserve it.

  • @benj yes absolutely - watford can get stuffed

  • @benj Pozzo is a nutter, no doubt. Surely a bigger job is waiting for Pearson.

  • home win

  • 0-1

  • What are the odds on Deeney sticking the knife in even further?

  • Good news: we're guaranteed to finish in the top half. Bad news: all the rest of the season.

  • @What4 9th position is probably what you'll get. Burnley beats Brighton, and Sheffield fails to win against Southampton. Or do you think Watford can save themselves from going under?

  • @Fromhell You never know what result you'll get with Arsenal. If Watford just defend deep and use their superior physicality, who knows. This is the type of game where Arsenal likes to donate points to the opposition.

  • two dirty teams. 1-1 and trillion corners
