Fixture: Watford vs Arsenal
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has named his side that will take on Watford in a Premier League fixture later today at Vicarage Road.

With Shkodran Mustafi out Per Mertesacker has returned to the line-up and Laurent Koscielny has also passed a fitness test to get back into the starting eleven, and they will form the back three for Arsenal with Nacho Monreal.




Alexandre Lacazette will lead the line up front with Alex Iwobi and Danny Welbeck for support. Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka will form the midfield two. Wenger has the options of Mesut Ozil, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud to call from the bench if needed.

Following a slow start to the season, Arsenal have recovered and have been on a good run and Wenger will be hoping to get three more points from their visit to Hertfordshire.
