Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Arsenal and Watford at the Emirates!
Watford start the day in the relegation zone, with only goal difference separating them and Aston Villa. That means they need to better Villa's result if they want to stay up or hope that Villa lose by a margin of two goals more than them after Watford suffered defeats to West Ham and Manchester City in their last two games. Arsenal can't qualify for Europe through the league, but Mikel Arteta will be hoping his side can bounce back after their loss to Villa on Tuesday.
ARSENAL STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martinez; Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Rob Holding, David Luiz, Kieran Tierney; Dani Ceballos, Granit Xhaka; Nicolas Pepe, Joe Willock, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; Alexandre Lacazette.
WATFORD STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Ben Foster; Kiko Femenia, Christian Kabasele, Craig Dawson, Adam Masina; Abdoulaye Doucoure, Will Hughes; Ismaila Sarr, Ricardo Pereyra, Danny Welbeck; Troy Deeney.
WATFORD SUBS: Andre Gray, Ignacio Pussetto, Craig Cathcart, Heurelho Gomes, Tom Cleverley, Domingos Quina, Joao Pedro, Nathaniel Chalboah, Adrian Mariappa.
ARSENAL SUBS: Matt Macey, Cedric Soares, Bukayo Saka, Reiss Nelson, Matthew Smith, Sead Kolasinac, Lucas Torreira, Eddie Nketiah, Sokratis.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Watford have given themselves a slim chance with their goal, but there'll need to be a big improvement in the second half. Villa are currently drawing with West Ham, so Watford need to win if they want to stay up. Arteta will be pleased with his side's performance so far and will expect more of the same after the break.
So, Watford will be playing in the Championship next season after finishing the season with three defeats. Arsenal finish in eighth place, but their season isn't over yet as they turn their attention to the FA Cup final next weekend when they face Chelsea.
