Arsenal team news vs Watford

TheSportsRush brings Arsenal team news vs Watford, as the Gunners aim at extending their winning run to seven games.

Arsenal have been in fine form this month. Unai Emery’s side are on a six-match winning streak, which include four Premier League matches, a Europa League game and Carabao Cup knock-out match.

They now face the high-flying Watford, who are currently fourth in the Premier League. Watford have lost only one match in the Premier League this season against Manchester United.

Last month, Watford pulled out a stunning upset on Arsenal’s city rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.


Arsenal underwent a minor injury crisis after the Europa League match last week. Henrikh Mkhitaryan picked up an injury and was forced to sit on the sidelines for the match against Everton.

Sokratis limped-off the field last week with a dead-leg as well.

However, before the match against Watford, Unai Emery has provided positive news for the Arsenal fans.

Sokratis is now available for selection, while Mkhitaryan is also in contention to start the match against Watford.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles is recovering well from the injury he suffered in the Premier League opener against Manchester City as well. He is expected to return to full training by the early October.

Dinos Mavropanos, meanwhile, is also recovering well from the injury and is expected to return to training by the end of October.
