Emile Smith Rowe is Arsenal’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with nine goals. He could become just the second player aged 21 or under to reach double figures in a PL season for Arsenal, after Nicolas Anelka in 1998/99.
Watford have kept three clean sheets in their six Premier League matches under Roy Hodgson, as many as in their previous 38 in the competition under four different managers. However, they have only scored twice in those six outings.
Arsenal have scored in all 15 of their Premier League matches v Watford. Only against West Brom, with 26 matches, do they have a better 100 per cent scoring rate in the competition.
No player has scored in more Premier League defeats this season than Emmanuel Dennis, with Watford losing four times when he’s found the net. However, the Nigerian has also scored in all five of Watford’s league wins this term.
