Arsenal fans pick the 11 players who must start for Unai Emery's side against Watford

It's been a promising start to the season for Arsenal.

Seven points from the opening four games sees the Gunners sitting in fifth place in the Premier League table - a decent return after a difficult start to the season.

Some of Unai Emery's players have hit the ground running this term, while others have looked a little bit shaky in the opening weeks of the season.

The fans have been broadly positive about the players to appear for the side so far this season, with an average rating of 6.0.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang unsurprisingly leads the standings on a score of 8.5, following goals against Newcastle, Burnley and Spurs.

And he's followed closely by Matteo Guendouzi on 8.3, after his eye-catching performance in the north London derby.

Alexandre Lacazette also picks up good marks from the supporters on 8.0, while Ceballos has earned himself admirers and sits on 7.2.

However, a few of the regulars have picked up less than satisfactory marks, with the likes of Granit Xhaka and Henrikh Mkhitaryan savaged on 3.7 and 3.5 respectively.

David Luiz's performances against Liverpool and Spurs haven't helped him bed in at the Emirates Stadium after his move from Chelsea, with a score of 4.9 so far.

Here's the team that Unai Emery should select based on fans' ratings.
