Arsenal has a late Monday night fixture against one of the most hungry giants-killers out there in the Premier League, Watford FC. The match will be played in Vicarage Road, so we could expect a hard fight from the home team as they will be looking to grab all 3 points from the fixture.
On the other hand, the match is going to be another crucial one for the Gunners, as they stand 6th on the Premier League points table. Having 63 points from 32 game-weeks, Unai Emery's men are 3 points behind the 4th-placed Chelsea FC. This weekend, Manchester United's win over West Ham United has made things more difficult for Arsenal. A small blunder is enough to spoil their top four chances.
Watford has been doing superbly in the FA Cup, as they recently qualified for the finals after beating Wolverhampton Wanderers at Wembley Stadium.
The Hornets are in 10th position on the Premier League points table, as Javi Gracia's men have bagged 46 points from 32 matches. Watford is totally ready for the challenge, as it would be a great practice ahead of the FA Cup final clash against Manchester City on May 18.
