Watford vs Arsenal: Kick off time, TV channel and the latest injury news

The wait is almost over for Arsenal fans as the Gunners return to Premier League action this weekend following the international break.

Unai Emery's men face a trip to Hertfordshire to face Watford, who are preparing for their first game with Quique Sanchez Flores back at the helm, after he was appointed to replace Javi Gracia, who was sacked with the Hornets bottom of the table after four games.

Watford have just one point to their name after drawing their last fixture 1-1 at Newcastle, following three straight defeats to kick off the new season.

In contrast, Arsenal have seven points from their first four games, with the Gunners drawing 2-2 with north London rivals Tottenham in their last Premier League fixture.

Ahead of this weekend's match, we take a look at the key information and latest injury news from both camps, below.

The latest Watford injury news

Watford will be without Troy Deeney, who is still recovering from surgery on a knee problem, and was expected to be out for a couple of months.

Etienne Capoue is also a doubt for the Hornets through illness, although he could be fit to feature by Sunday.

The latest Arsenal injury news

There has been good news for the Gunners on the injury front this week.

Rob Holding is now back in full training with the squad, while Joe Willock is expected to be fit to face Watford after a calf injury and Alexandre Lacazette is also expected to be available, having gone off with cramp against Tottenham.

But five other players could miss the game this weekend.

Hector Bellerin, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Kieran Tierney are all long-term absentees, while Granit Xhaka is a doubt after admitting he has been suffering from Achilles tendon pain in recent weeks.

Lucas Torreira is also a doubt after being substituted in Uruguay's international friendly with Costa Rica at the weekend, with Premier Injuries listing him as having a 25 per cent chance of playing this weekend, due to a muscle injury.
