Fixture: Arsenal vs Watford
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Arsenal have officially announced their team and substitutes to play host to Watford at the Emirates Stadium in a Premier League fixture this afternoon.

The Gunners go into the clash sitting in sixth place in the Premier League with 12 points from six games and on the back of a six-match winning streak across all competitions.




Boss Unai Emery will be keen for his team to keep their run going and picks the experienced Petr Cech between the sticks. In defence, the Spaniard goes with Shkodran Mustafi and Rob Holding as his central pairing.

Further up the pitch, Emery opts for Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka to protect the defence, while Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey will look to create for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

If the Arsenal manager needs to shake things up then he can look to his bench, where available to bring on are the likes of Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi.
