Watford vs Arsenal prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out today?

Three points away from home on Sunday would put Arsenal right in the driving seat for a Champions League place, as they’ll go fourth above Manchester United by a point with a win - and still have two games in hand.

The Gunners have won three on the spin in the Premier League of late, with only Liverpool and Chelsea able to match that run for recent form.

At the other end of the table Watford are still in 19th and three points from safety - though their terrible goal difference effectively means they need to make up another point after that, too. Their draw with Man United last time out at least keeps them in touch with the sides above, but it’s increasingly looking like three from five for relegation and the Hornets can ill-afford too many more defeats.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League match this afternoon.

When is Watford vs Arsenal?

The match will kick off at 2pm GMT on Sunday 6 March at Vicarage Road.
