Watford v Arsenal – Probable lineups – Wenger facing injury crisis in defence
Watford host Arsenal at Vicarage Road tomorrow as they look to return to winning ways.
The Hornets suffered a heavy 6-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in their last Premier League clash before the international break.
Arsenal come into Saturday’s clash in impressive form. The Gunners defeated Brighton by a 2-0 score line a fortnight ago and are on a four game winning run.
Arsene Wenger is facing several injury problems coming into the game. In-form centre-back Shkodran Mustafi has been ruled out after suffering an injury while on international duty with Germany.
Meanwhile Laurent Koscielny is also a doubt due to a persistent ankle problem. Mesut Ozil is expected to return to the team following a month out with a knee problem.
Wenger confirmed that the 28-year-old has returned to training and that he will be in the match day squad. Defender Callum Chambers is also sidelined with a groin injury.
