Mesut Ozil could be set for his first start of the season as Arsenal make the short trip to face Watford in the Premier League tomorrow.

The Germany international came off the bench in last weekend's draw at Leicester.

But Arsene Wenger, who has eased his players back following their Euro 2016 exertions, has said he could play from the start at Vicarage Road, although Olivier Giroud is unlikely to be recalled.

Aaron Ramsey (hamstring), Alex Iwobi (thigh), Per Mertesacker, Danny Welbeck and Carl Jenkinson (all knee) are still missing.

Wenger's side are searching for their first win of the campaign after taking just one point from their opening two games.

The Gunners suffered a 4-3 home defeat to Liverpool in their first match and had to settle for a goalless draw at the champions last week. 

Arsenal finished second last season but expectations are not high among fans after a quiet summer of transfer activity.

Wenger's team defeated Watford in both league games during the last campaign but were beaten by them in the FA Cup at the Emirates in March.
