The English Premier League is already showing signs of why it is the most popular league out there. The matches played yesterday was an exciting one for football fans. Chelsea shocked many as they defeated Wolvehampton Wanderers 5 goals to 2. Many believed Wolves should atleast give Chelsea a tough time. They couldn’t as they were so poor in the game and had to settle for a thumping defeat.
The biggest shock was Manchester City losing to newcomers Norwich. They lost thanks to some error defending. Laporte injury is a source of concern for Guardiola as he will now be looking for ways to solve his defensive issues.
Arsenal face Watford in the last weekend game.
They won at Vicarage Road stadium last season and will want to replicate that again. They will be hoping for a red card again so that their victory will be easy.
Watford
Watford have sacked Javi Gracia in a bid to turn the team bad results into a good one. They have employed Quique Sanchez Flores who will be tasked with a crucial task of avoiding a loss against the gunners. Watford are without a win in 4 matches. They have also lost their last 2 home matches and conceded 6 goals. That is a source of concern and it is the first thing Quique Flores must address. They have been leaky defensively and have conceded in all the matches they have played. Facing an Arsenal team boasting the likes of Aubameyang, Pepe, and Ozil in their team, you need to be solid defensively.
They are underdogs in this match and will likely defend hoping to catch the gunners on a counter attack.
Arsenal
Arsenal started the season on a good note winning their first 2 matches. They have failed to win the following 2 matches. They lost to Liverpool and came back to draw against Tottenham. Emery will be without Lacazette for this match which means Aubameyang will be asked to top strike. It is likely Emery will play an attacking formation with Aubameyang and Pepe upfront while Ceballos and Ozil will be tasked with the responsibility of creating the chances. Xhaka and Guendouzi can be the defensive players.
The match promise goals and the Gunners should win. It won’t be easy as they face a Watford side that need a win.
I think Arsenal will win this match. Arsenal win at odds 1.880 on betscorum.
