Arsenal Team News
Kierney should be in contention for this game, according to Arteta’s pre-match news conference, as he attempts to shake off an ankle bruising, leaving Granit Xhaka as the hosts’ only absentee.
In Tierney’s absence, though, Nuno Tavares has caught the eye with his spirited efforts, and the Portugal Under-21 international might hold down the fort while Tierney returns to full fitness.
In Arteta’s 4-4-2, Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should lead the line alongside Alexandre Lacazette, who has six goals in five Premier League matches with Watford.
Watford News
Meanwhile, Watford attacker Ken Sema has pulled out of international service due to injury and will not feature in this match, although Emmanuel Dennis has returned from suspension and is set to replace Cucho Hernandez.
For the time being, Peter Etebo and Christian Kabasele are expected to be ruled out, although Francisco Sierralta and Kiko Femenia are regarded to have a chance of being cleared to compete.
New signing Nicolas N’Koulou has been working on his fitness and is now a viable option for Ranieri, but he should not be rushed straight into a match against an in-form Arsenal side.
Possible Lineups
Arsenal XI:
Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tavares; Saka, Partey, Lokonga, Smith Rowe; Aubameyang, Lacazette
Watford XI:
