Arsenal will go head to head with Watford at Vicarage Road on Monday night on the back of an impressive 2-0 win at home versus Napoli in the UEFA Europa League. The Gunners have suffered travel sickness over the past few weeks as they are winless in their last four away matches across all competitions. Javi Gracia’s men won’t be any pushovers as they can be quite dangerous especially at their home ground so Unai Emery’s team would need to be at their best if they are to have any chance of securing a win next week.
The North London outfit will lineup in a 3-4-1-2 formation with Matteo Guendouzi set to feature at the middle of the park after being rested in midweek.
3-4-1-2 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Watford
Defence
Bernd Leno will lineup in goal for the North London outfit after being rested against Napoli in midweek. Emery might opt for the back three of Nacho Monreal, Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi as they look to keep things watertight at the back on Monday night.
Even though the Gunners managed to keep a clean sheet versus Napoli, there are still some concerns regarding their form away from home. The Arsenal defenders tend to concede goals on their travels so Emery’s primary focus should be to improve his side’s defensive record in the coming weeks.
Midfield
The Gunners midfield might be comprised of Matteo Guendouzi and Aaron Ramsey as they look to put on a dominant shift against the Hornets. Ramsey registered his name on the scoresheet versus Carlo Ancelotti’s men which will give him a lot of confidence heading into this league clash at Vicarage Road.
Sead Kolasinac will feature on the left flank once again as he aims to create a few chances for the front players in the Watford half. Ainsley Maitland-Niles has gradually developed his game during this campaign so he would be desperate to prove his worth in this Premier League encounter.
Attack
Mesut Ozil put in a classy display versus Napoli this week, so Emery will risk facing a lot of heat if he decides to drop the German midfielder against the Hornets. The prolific attacking pair of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will look to link up with each other as they lead the line up front. They have to get their names on the scoresheet if Arsenal are to come away with maximum points from Hertfordshire.
