    WATFORD v ARSENAL
    Vicarage Road Stadium
    Sunday 6th March 2022
    Kick Off 1400 GMT

    Seeking to take points off a top-six side for the second week running, Watford prepare to host Arsenal at Vicarage Road in Sunday's Premier League encounter.

    The Hornets managed to hold Manchester United to a goalless draw last time out, while Mikel Arteta's side left it late to sink Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1.

    Sad news for Watford fans. Ismaila Sarr will be missing from the action along with
    William Troost-Ekong who could have expected a place on the bench.
    Kiko Femenía is back in contention having recovered from his knock in training, and could be back in the side. Enforced changes will probably be the only ones we see, but quite who will replace Sarr is not straight forward.

    Arsenal do not appear to have any new injuries to report, in fact their top scorer Smith- Rowe has been seen in training and likely to return to the side.

    Will Sarr be replaced by another attacker or Roy go with a central midfielder there to make a compact solid middle 4?

    Going to miss this game as it is a family dinner for our granddaughter who had her birthday earlier in the week. I will have to follow as much as possible from my phone, so do your best to keep me updated.

    I am driving down to Cornwall so the commentary will keep me occupied on the M4 and M5.

    I think for the Fezes and the toprankins it’s a domestically difficult game. :bandit:

    We are owed against them

    The lead up to their goal this season was a combination of bad sportsmanship and poor refereeing

    Every result went our way today and Spurs hopefully can Beat EVARton on Monday

    It is now almost in our own hands, four points from the next two games could be brilliant for us

    Brentford won - that wasn’t ideal .

    But if we can get 3 points that will cancel it out .

    And prior to that we had their team choice versus Villa but decided on a full team against us to "respect the integrity of the competition." No bones about it, I can't stand arteta and nor do I buy his bs in the wobby neither.

    No King today .

    3 attacking players so 433?

    How much they are actually allowed to do is a different matter .

    Sierralta on the bench I see - I wonder what his chances of getting on the pitch are?

    Kalu on the bench too - inching nearer to some game time?
