Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Arsenal vs Watford in the Premier League on Sunday (kick-off 4pm).
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has no fresh injury concerns ahead of their final Premier League game of the season at home to relegation-threatened Watford on Sunday.
It remains to be seen what kind of side the Gunners boss will name given they face Chelsea in the FA Cup final six days later.
Shkodran Mustafi (hamstring) is likely to miss both games while Pablo Mari (ankle), Bernd Leno, Gabriel Martinelli and Calum Chambers (all knee) are also absent.
Watford need to better Aston Villa's result to secure their top-flight survival.
Caretaker manager Hayden Mullins will go into the game at the Emirates Stadium with the same squad available that slipped to a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City last time out.
Etienne Capoue missed that loss following a knock at West Ham, while Daryl Janmaat, Gerard Deulofeu (both knee) and Isaac Success (Achilles) are all out.

Arsenal looked pretty empty on gas against Aston Villa, but there's some serious risks Watford are taking in sacking Nigel Pearson and throwing Hayden Mullins in at the deep end. Apart from the goalkeeper, Ben Foster, there's not really anyone in form.
For Arsenal, the league emphasis has gone, it's about being competitive for the FA Cup final. I think Mikel Arteta will make a couple of changes, but they'll want to finish the season well. He's doing a good job, he's taken over a mess and is making it better. I think they'll have a response from Tuesday night - Arteta will be telling the players some of them are playing for their futures, others for a place in the FA Cup final line-up.
I think Watford are seriously in danger of going down, but I think Arsenal will win anyway.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 3-1 (12/1 with Sky Bet)
