After fumbling to a 4-3 loss against Liverpool and picking up only one point against Leicester City in a 0-0 draw last weekend, Arsenal will be under serious pressure to get results against Watford later today (August 27, 2016).

However, Wenger shouldn't be too worried as The Gunners have a great record against Watford in recent times. The Hornets have lost all six of their games against Arsenal in the Premier League, dating as far back as 1999, when Kanu’s 86th-minute match winning goal fired Arsenal to within just two points of league leaders Manchester United.

“I was happy. After we conceded four goals against Liverpool, the response had to be defensive. We were under shock after our first game but you go to Leicester and come home with a 0-0, it’s disappointing because you wanted to win the game." Wenger said after goalless draw with Leicester City.

“But it cannot be a negative because Leicester will be a very difficult team for everybody. The priority was not to lose and to find our defensive stability back."

“Of course the three points were even more important but you maybe have to take that result with a little perspective and a little distance, and see how good a result it will be. We’ll see that over a longer distance.”

Watford are currently sitting below Arsenal on goal difference on the Premier League table and as you might have guessed - they will do everything possible to make sure they upset Arsenal's plans.

Speaking on tactical formations and strategy his team will adopt against Walter Mazirri's Watford, Wenger Said:
"Watford is always traditionally a difficult place to go, but it’ll be another big test for us because we have to prepare for commitment. We have to prepare for intensity and we have to prepare to play our game in that context as well."

“The 3-1-4-2 system means that defensively you protect more of the centre and of course, naturally, we have to use the width of the pitch well and combine very quickly to penetrate their defensive block. We will have to play our game at our best to have the chance to score goals.”

The game kicks off at 5:00PM (WAT).
