Arsenal came back from two goals down to draw with Spurs in its prior Premier League match at the Emirates. A Watford vs. Arsenal match may seem a bit of a let-off after that, especially with Watford sitting dead last in the Premier League standings, and with Watford being the only team to not score against Arsenal last season. If you’re a Gunners fan looking for a win, however, Sunday’s match looks promising.
Here’s everything you need to know to live stream Watford vs. Arsenal, including what to watch for on the pitch.

Arsenal vs. Watford: What to watch for
Coming as no surprise to those who have watched Arsenal of late, it was Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubayemang who scored to bring the team back from a 2-0 first-half deficit against Spurs on Sept. 1 to salvage the draw. The result left Arsenal fifth in the standings, but it’s already gotten the unpleasantness of playing Liverpool at Anfield out of the way. A win over Watford would likely vault the Gunners into Champions League places; they’ll be returning to Europa League action on Thursday with a relatively stern test against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Watford needs a win. The players did, to their credit, reverse a three-game losing streak by drawing against Newcastle their last time out. But they’re still sitting on one point in their first four matches, placing the Hornets squarely in the relegation zone. They’re hoping that a managerial change might do the trick; they’ve sacked Javi Gracia and brought back Quique Sanchez Flores to try to turn things around.
