Ordinarily a game between Watford and Arsenal should not be tagged as a star match with high hopes that Arsenal will be placed as clear favourites.
However, one cannot neglect easily the current form of Watford going into in this game, and we will not be surprised if they manage to share the spoils with the Gunners on this one.
