Unai Emery's Arsenal travel to Vicarage Road to face Watford on Sunday looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League.
The Gunners lost 3-1 to Liverpool last time out on the road, but provided a stirring comeback from 2-0 down against Tottenham Hotspur in a fiercely contested North London derby before the international break.
Much has changed at Watford since their last match against Newcastle on August 31, with Javi Gracia being sacked and replaced by one of his predecessors Quique Sanchez Flores.
Despite a potential new manager boost for Watford, Arsenal will be desperate for three points come Sunday afternoon.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for the Gunners.
