Flying Gunners may not have it all their own way against Watford

3pm Saturday

Arsenal have posted four successive Premier League wins since losing at Manchester City and Chelsea at the start of the season but their performances have not been convincing and they look worth opposing against Watford, who have been one of their bogey teams in recent seasons.

Watford won at the Emirates under Quique Sanchez Flores and Walter Mazzarri and they probably have a better team now than at any stage since rejoining the top flight in 2015.

Their strong start to the season has been no fluke and it may continue this weekend.

Recommendation
Watford or draw double chance
