These two clubs are close in both geographical terms and position in the table. Vicarage Road and the Emirates are just 16 miles apart and the clubs sit 14th and 13th respectively.
Watford once again changed their manager this summer, bringing in former Inter Milan coach Walter Mazzarri. They did well to get a draw away at Southampton on opening day and were incredibly unlucky to concede a last minute Diego Costa winner on Saturday.
Whilst the Hornets may not have registered a win yet this season, they look like they should be able to retain their Premier League status. Strikers Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo will be a threat against any side whilst midfielder Etienne Capoue is on a good run having scored two great goals in his last two matches.
Fans are once again demanding Arsenal spend the money and manager Arsene Wenger has finally heeded the call with the Gunners looking to wrap up the signings of defender Shkodran Mustafi and striker Lucas Perez this weekend for a combined £50m fee.
Both of these sides are very good going forward so we can expect a few goals in this match. Both Teams to Score is the obvious bet at 9/10.
However, I think Arsenal should come out on top. The Gunners will see this as a great chance to secure their first victory of the season after disappointing early results so will be even more motivated. I doubt Mazzarri’s side will be able to stop an Arsenal victory.
With this in mind you can combine the first bet of Both Teams to Score with an Arsenal win at 13/5 which gives you a large profit margin. The Gunners’ recent form has clearly influenced the bookies with this price but I would certainly back them here.
