Team news
Deeney is the only guaranteed absentee for Watford, with their captain out for a few more months.

Etienne Capoue is a doubt due to illness, whilst Danny Welbeck is likely to get minutes against his former side.

Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney have returned to training, but are unlikely to be available under October.

Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira are both doubts.

Watford (4-4-2): Foster; Janmaat, Dawson, Cathcart, Holebas; Sarr, Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes; Gray, Deulofeu
Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Leno; Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Luiz, Kolasinac; Guendouzi, Willock; Pepe, Ceballos, Aubameyang; Lacazette
