Arsenal vs Watford Preview



Arsenal vs Watford Preview
Arsenal go into this one on the back of four straight Premier League victories while fourth-placed Watford are searching for their first win in three. The Gunners beat Brentford 3-1 in the Carabao Cup in midweek as Watford lost 4-2 on penalties after a 2-2 draw with Spurs

Arsenal defender Sokratis is now available for selection following a dead leg, but Emile Smith Rowe is a doubt. Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Laurent Koscielny all remain out injured.

Watford defender Christian Kabasele will be able to play as the red card he received during Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur has been rescinded.

Arsenal have won eight of their 10 PL meetings with Watford, but the two defeats have come in the last three meetings between the sides.

Watford have picked up three victories in their last six matches against Arsenal in all competitions.

An interesting statistic - Arsenal's last home PL defeat in a match kicking off at 15:00 on a Saturday was on the opening day of the 2013/14 season when they lost to Aston Villa.

Alexandre Lacazette has scored in each of his last four home starts in the Premier League, netting five goals in total. The last player to score in five successive starts at Emirates Stadium for Arsenal was Robin van Persie in 2011/12.

My Team to face Watford 

Despite Petr Cech's impressive Premier League performance against Everton, I think Leno certainly deserves a Premier League chance

Torreira and Xhaka worked very well together in their last game, and that duo has to be reunited for the Gunners in this match













Score Prediction - Arsenal 3-1 Watford

France vs Uruguay Review

France 2-0 Uruguay  France are into the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time since 2006 after beating Uruguay with the help of a terrible error by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. This quarter-final tie did not come close to the excitement of Les Bleus' win over Argentina in the last 16 but will still be remembered for the goalkeepers displays, with Hugo Lloris producing a contender for save of the tournament while his opposite number made a mistake that was even more memorable and effectively knocked his own nation out of the tournament . Real Madrid's centre back Raphael Varane headed France into a first-half lead from a well executed free-kick , with Antoine Griezmann delaying his run before delivering the perfect cross for the defender to glance home. Uruguay had injured striker Edinson Cavani failing to make the bench, very nearly struck back immediately from a free-kick of their own, but Tottenham captain Lloris produced a brilliant diving stop to deny

England vs Tunisia Preview

Who starts for England tonight, how will Kane and Alli fare, the importance of Lingard and Sterling? For fans all across the United Kingdom, the journey is almost underway. Tonight, England get their World Cup campaign started, and it is of paramount importance we don't see a similar mentality to four years ago. I am absolutely confident we won't. This England side, unlike the squad of 2014, looks ready, and is packed with world class talent. If there's any time to show the world what they're made of, it's now. Despite not being an overly popular choice for manager, there is no denying that Gareth Southgate has done a fantastic job so far of getting his team in the best possible position to go all the way and try and bring this cup home. England did not lose a single game in qualifying, winning eight and drawing two. We have possibly the best striker in the world, Harry Kane, who has just come off of his best individual season with Tottenham Hotspur, netting thirt

Brazil vs Belgium Review

Image
Brazil 1-2 Belgium Belgium produced an exceptional performance to knock the five-time winners Brazil out of the World Cup and reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1986. Roberto Martinez's Red Devils turned on the style in Kazan to record their fifth straight victory in the tournament and ensure that the semi-finals will be contested by four European sides for the first time since 2006. Brazil had previously conceded just one goal in their past four games in Russia 2018 but were behind early on when Nacer Chadli's corner struck Manchester City's Fernandinho's arm and flew into the net, and recording the 10th own goal of this World Cup. Fernandinho's Manchester City teammate Kevin de Bruyne doubled Belgium's lead with an astonishing finish that nestled in the far corner from 20 yards after Romelu Lukaku's dominating run. In a very entertaining and open game, Brazil wasted chances, and hit the post when the match was goalless, Thiago Sil
