Arsenal will face a Watford side who have had a shocking start to their Premier League campaign so far. The Hornets replaced Javi Gracia with Quique Sanchez Flores and the latter will make it hard for us to score.
Unai Emery has a lot to be happy about after the comeback against Tottenham before the international break. Despite not getting the victory against Spurs, there were a lot of positives to take from the game and latest news from the medical team will fill Emery with even more joy.
Arsenal’s official website confirmed that Rob Holding has returned to full training and he will massively boost our defence. The former Bolton man has been out of action since December and his absence certainly hurt us last season.
The report also revealed that Tierney, Bellerin and Mavropanos will return to action by the end of September. That is incredible news considering that games will come thick and fast due to the commencement of the Europa League.
Arsenal confirmed that the players involved with their national teams have also returned unscathed despite conflicting reports. Gunners News covered reports emerging earlier this week about potential injuries to midfield duo Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira but that should be of no concern anymore.
A similar squad to that against Tottenham is expected again this weekend against Watford with the small exception of Rob Holding who might make the Premier League bench for the first time in over nine months.
