Watford v Arsenal line-ups: Wenger makes a couple of big calls

Ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Watford, the big question was over whether Alexis Sanchez would be risked from the start.

But despite playing for Chile against Peru in midweek, the talisman was named in the starting line-up at Vicarage Road.

Arsene Wenger has made just one change from the 3-0 victory over Manchester United, with Laurent Koscielny returning to replace Gabriel at centre-back.

Theo Walcott has kept his place in the starting XI despite Olivier Giroud’s impressive display for France.

Quique Flores has named an unchanged Watford line-up from the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, with Valon Behrami back on the bench after serving a three-match ban.
