Watford vs Arsenal: what channel, how can I watch online, what time, predicted line-ups, team news, h2h, odds and more

Arsenal‘s top four ambitions face another stern test when they make the short trip to Watford.

The Gunners fell to a 1-0 defeat against Everton last weekend, before falling out of the Champions League places thanks to Chelsea’s victory over West Ham on Monday night.

Arsenal did however restore some confidence with an impressive 2-0 win over Napoli in the Europa League.

Watford also have a lot to play for during the latter stages of the season, having reached the FA Cup final after coming from behind to beat Wolves 3-2 in the semi-final at Wembley.

The Hornets are also involved in a four-team race to finish in seventh, which may end up in possible Europa League qualification.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event from 7pm. Sky Sports subscribers can also watch the match via the Sky Go app.

The match will also be available on Now TV by grabbing a day pass for just £7.99.

Highlights will be shown at 9:30am on Tuesday on Sky Sports Premier League.

What time does it start?

Watford vs Arsenal kicks off at 8pm (GMT).

Predicted line-ups

Watford: Foster: Femenia, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas: Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes, Pereyra: Gray, Deeney

Prediction… Watford 2-1 Arsenal

Arsenal’s only away wins this season have come at Bournemouth and Huddersfield, and they will likely struggle here as well against a very physical Watford. The Hornets fought back to win 2-1 at Vicarage Road last year, and if Emery’s side continue to defend as they have in recent performances on the road they could be in for a repeat here.
