Arsenal have the chance to break into the Premier League’s top four on Sunday, at least temporarily, when they face Watford away from home.

Victory for Mikel Arteta’s men will take them above Man United into fourth ahead of the Manchester derby later in the day.

The Hornets, meanwhile, know matters are starting to get desperate in the fight to avoid relegation after Brentford and Newcastle picked up big wins on Saturday. Roy Hodgson’s team can go to 18th with a win of their own, though goal difference will keep them in the drop zone for another week at least.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League match this afternoon.

When is Watford vs Arsenal?

The match will kick off at 2pm GMT on Sunday 6 March at Vicarage Road.
