Arsenal are rolling into the clash against Watford - amatch that could be crucial as the Gunners can vault into the top five if they win against Watford.
Here is the five key players needed to ensure this most crucial victory.
- Hector Bellerin
Bellerin is tremendous at getting forward. We need Bellerin to tighten his line and not allow this mistake to come back out. Because we can’t always rely on Petr Cech to bail us out.
- Pert Cech
Cech was a masterclass, a clear man of the match against Everton. Two times he stopped the Toffees in one-on-one situations and both times would have changed the game completely. There can always be such a risk and we need Cech.
- Lucas Torreira
Lucas Torreira wasn’t at his best against Everton. But maybe it was just him being wound up to get playing time. But we need Torreira to stay out of the book so that he can enforce the rule of law against and keep the Gunners in control.
- Alexandre Lacazette
Against Everton it was up to Alexandre Lacazette to make something out of very little. Even if Arsenal have little chances it will primarily fall to Lacazette to take the chances that he has, and perhaps to make some of his own, as he was able to do against Everton.
- Granit Xhaka
When Xhaka is in control of any given match. When he isn’t in control, the Gunners, similarly, struggle to maintain control. There’s a reason why he gets more touches by anyone else on the pitch by a long-shot. There is a reason why his passing can be so sorely missed when it isn’t there.
