Watford have issues of their own. Isaac Success, Daryl Janmaat and Gerard Deulofeu are all out, while Etienne Capoue is a doubt, according to PremierInjuries.com.

Key Players

Arsenal: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Aubameyang is the only reason Arsenal’s season was relevant for as long as it was. His 20 goals kept Arsenal’s season from falling apart for a while. He wasn’t enough to lift Arsenal to the Champions League, but he can win them this match.

Watford: Troy Deeney

Deeney has done his best to save Watford. He’s scored their last three goals, including both in their 2-1 win over Newcastle United. He will need to continue his gargantuan effort to save the Hornets from the drop.

Prediction

Watford have more reason to care about this game and Arsenal aren’t good enough to stop that. The Hornets may not be able to win this match, but they should be able to get something from it.

Prediction: 1-1 Draw
