Arsenal FC vs. Watford FC
The upcoming weekend is once again packed with exciting football and the ball is rolling through the Premier League once again. The still best league in the world is entering its 11th matchday these days and to conclude this round, the clash between Arsenal FC and Watford FC will take place on Sunday at 15:00. What we think about this duel and whether we think the Gunners can continue their good run, you can find out in our Arsenal – Watford betting tip.
The English Premier League table is packed with teams of incredible quality. In recent months, the Gunners have not necessarily been the group to whom everything has come easily. However, coach Arteta has managed to finally bring something tangible back to the Emirates Stadium in recent games. Arsenal are currently in 6th place with 17 points, while their upcoming opponents from Watford are in 16th place with 10 points and thus in acute relegation trouble.

Arsenal Form & Balance Check
The Gunners from north London have coped well with a shockingly poor start to the new season and coach Mikel Arteta seems to have found a way to lift his players to a completely new level. Let’s look at last weekend’s game against the Foxes from Leicester alone. The 2004 English champions won 2-0 against last season’s fifth-placed team, and the defence around goalkeeper Ramsdale did a particularly good job. Ramsdale saved a large number of balls and played a major part in his team’s victory.
Extend the series against Watford
If we take a closer look at Arsenal FC’s last five games, we can see a clear trend here. The Gunners have not lost any of these five games and there have been three wins and two draws in this period. They have won each of their last two games against Leicester and Aston Villa in the league. They also won 2-0 in the League Cup against Leeds United. All in all, the Gunners are currently fun again and against Watford they should continue the series they started.
Arsenal Facts & Analysis
– Last game won 2-0 against Leicester.
– Unbeaten for five matches
– 6th place
Watford form & balance check
The promoted Watford side only want one thing this season, to stay in the league and thus be able to play in the Premier League next season. The club of pop star Elton John has earned ten points after the first ten match days and thus they are a little surprisingly above the line. The other teams from Leeds, Burnley, Newcastle and Norwich are currently even worse off. They have lost three of their last five games and Claudio Ranieri’s team will not necessarily be going into the clash with the Gunners with a broad chest.
A lot of talent, little experience
The Watford Hornets have a wealth of young talent for whom the Premier League is virtually uncharted territory. Among the experienced players, for example, is Sissoko. The former Tottenham Hotspur player joined Watford this season and coach Ranieri immediately named the midfield engine as captain. In the last transfer window, the promoted club spent 18 million euros. Compared to the direct competition, that is only a vanishingly small amount. Perhaps the Hornets will have to spend more in the winter.
Watford Facts & Analysis
– Currently in 16th place
– Sarr top scorer with 4 goals
– Last lost 1-0 to Southampton
Predicted line-up – last update on 5 November 2021
At Arsenal FC, coach Mikel Arteta has no reason to change anything about his first eleven compared to the 2-0 defeat to Leicester. The north Londoners will again go with a 4-4-2. Lacazette will play as a hanging point behind Aubameyang. The next opponents from Watford will play with the same system. King is expected to provide the goals here.
