Holding and Iwobi ready to shine? Will Alexis and Ozil return? as Arsenal take on Watford
We’re heading to Watford for another “London” (actually Hertfordshire, since it’s never been in London) derby.

Is it time for Wenger to decide? Uncommitted Brilliance or Committed Quality?
There is much to be positive about as an Arsenal fan. After a tricky start to the campaign the team are winning consistently, if not flamboyantly and certain individuals have been key to that.
