Arsenal v Watford

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott could make his first league appearance for six weeks after scoring a hat-trick on his comeback from a calf problem in the FA Cup win at Southampton.

Danny Welbeck is unlikely to be risked from the start, while Granit Xhaka is still suspended.

Costel Pantilimon has an ankle injury and Jose Holebas is serving a ban.
