An Arsenal side in impressive form under Mikel Arteta host Watford on Sunday afternoon, looking to make it three Premier League wins on the spin.
The game will mark the 100th under Arteta’s watch and could further underline the progress they’ve started to make of late with a victory.
Clearly, the home side head into the game as favourites but this is the kind of game Arsenal haven’t won before with a certain Troy Deeney making his feelings about facing the North London giants clear during his time at Watford.
Indeed, after a turnaround following the 5-0 humbling at Manchester City in August, there is now genuine hope that Arteta’s side could challenge for Champions League football next season.
As straightforward as a convincing win over a side battling relegation might appear to be, it could also go some way into righting the wrongs of previous campaigns.
Date, kick-off time and venue
The Premier League meeting is scheduled for a 14:00pm GMT kick-off on Sunday November 7, 2021.
The Emirates Stadium in London will host it.
