Arsenal Team News Ahead Of Watford


Ahead of this weekend’s clash against Watford, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has delivered his team news. 

Arsenal are sitting second in the Premier League standings after they registered a comprehensive 3-0 win over Manchester United at Emirates Stadium in their last league encounter.


And post the international break, the Gunners will head to Vicarage Road to take on newly promoted Watford on Saturday.

Laurent Koscielny, who has been nursing an injury, has a slight chance to make the team for Saturday’s clash at Vicarage Road, Wenger has revealed.

“Koscielny has a slight chance to be back on Saturday. He has a definite test tomorrow”, the Arsenal boss was quoted as saying by his club's site.

He further added that Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini are back in full training, but a decision on their participation will be made later.

“Arteta and Flamini are back in full training. We need to see how they are and how confident they are, but we can’t rule it out.”

Arsenal are lying second behind Manchester City with a tally of 16 points from their first eight games, and will look to grab all three points in the weekend’s clash as they attempt to remain in the hunt for their first title in over a decade.

The 20-year-old played just 69 minutes across three matches, but opened the scoring in France's 3-1 friendly victory over Italy in Bari on Thursday for his first senior international goal.

"He was expecting more from the Euros and I was too," Deschamps said. "But, things were difficult. He has to learn from this to progress.  "He was the first to say he was not satisfied.

Daley Blind insists he was not told that Manchester United had sacked Louis van Gaal before the club's confirmation on Monday evening. Van Gaal guided the club to victory in the FA Cup on Saturday but failure to secure Champions League football, coupled with the team’s uninspiring playing style, has led to the Dutchman’s dismissal. But Blind, who has worked under Van Gaal at United and the Netherlands national side, insists he kept in the dark over the managerial change at Old Trafford and says there were no signs to suggest the 64-year-old would be leaving after Saturday's final at Wembley. “I follow the news just like you,” said Blind, who was speaking shortly before Van Gaal's sacking on Monday evening. “The media have him sacked him 82 times this season I believe. It could be that they are right once. “But Manchester United have no official statement brought out. And the training I have looked on my phone. I was not told anything. “I would be sorry if it i...
