Arsenal Predicted Starters To Face Watford
By Nasra Osman
Arsenal are in action in the FA Cup again, taking on Watford at home on Sunday. Can they win to keep their hopes of a three-peat going in the competition?
The potential three-peat is still on for Arsenal in the FA Cup. Without exaggerating it, the 4th round replay against Hull City in midweek was a must game win for Arsenal, and they did just that. It may have been an unnecessary one, but the win at KC Stadium on Tuesday was much needed for Arsenal, who had not won a game in 5 attempts.

It was important in the sense that the FA Cup remains Arsenal’s best chance of claiming any silverware this season, considering the fact that the North Londoners are a lofty 8 points adrift from surprise league leaders Leicester City. With barely enough time to recover from their emphatic 4-0 drubbing of Hull City, Arsenal will once again jump right back into FA Cup competition.
On Sunday, they will take on fellow Premier Leaguers Watford, who are enjoying a dream run into the FA Cup quarterfinals but at the same time sit 14th in the Premier League table. It will be interesting to see what kind of team Arsene Wenger decides to field in this game, given the two back-to-back matches in the same competition.
He may choose to field the same starting 11 that won so convincingly in midweek, which would be a case of not trying to fix something that isn’t broken. On the other hand, Wenger may decide to give that winning team a rest, and bring back some of the first team regulars that will be raring to go after being rested. Either way, it seems as though Arsene Wenger will have a squad that is capable of reaching the FA Cup semi-finals for a third straight year.
Here’s how Arsenal may line up against Watford at the Emirates on Sunday.
