da realbet: Arsenal have turned a corner in recent weeks and a 3-1 victory over Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday extended the Gunners winning streak across all competitions to six matches.
Unai Emery’s side have found their rhythm at a vital stage of the season but face a stern test this weekend against a Watford outfit who have been punching above their weight so far this term, with their only defeat coming at the hands of Manchester United.
While the North London giants will be confident of their chances, Emery could have a selection headache with Sokratis Papastathopoulos fighting to recover from an injury sustained in last weekend’s victory over Everton.
The latest update suggests the Greek international could be fit to face the Hornets but Emery may not want to risk such an important player, so we asked fans who they believe should partner Shkodran Mustafi in his absence.
A whopping 75% of polled supporters called for Rob Holding, who replace Sokratis in the victory over the Toffees and also played ninety minutes in the win over Brentford, to continue at the heart of the defence.
Young starlet Konstantinos Mavropanos, yet to feature this season, finished second with 21% of the votes while just 5% wanted Nacho Monreal to shift across the defence to fill the void, and only 1% suggested Mohamed Elneny should be played out of position to cover the gap.
