Watford travel to the Emirates this afternoon to face Arsenal in their final match before the international break.

After a disappointing defeat to Southampton last weekend, the Hornets will be looking to take some positivity and momentum into the pause, with a string of difficult games coming up afterwards.

Here's how I think Claudio Ranieri could set his team up today.

GK: Ben Foster

The former England international still looks to be Ranieri's favourite out of the two main options available to him.

RB: Jeremy Ngakia

Kiko Femenia is available again, but I think won't be risked until after the international break.

CB: William Troost-Ekong

Will likely start again today but needs to improve his performances.

CB: Francisco Sierralta

Quite possibly the strongest central defensive option available - a change is certainly needed at the back.

LB: Danny Rose

The better option in the left back position.

CM: Moussa Sissoko

One of only a few to have performed with any degree of consistency this season. Will wear the captain's armband again today, I expect.

CM: Juraj Kucka

Has blown hot and cold, but on his day can be a real handful. Will need to be at his best today to get the better of Arsenal's midfield.

CM: Ozan Tufan

Someone who can provide threat going forward, but is also capable of carrying out more traditional centre midfield work.

RW: Ismaila Sarr

His confidence seems to have dipped a little lately, but a goal could easily restore his belief.

LW: Emmanuel Dennis

Ranieri said he missed the Nigerian against Southampton and might be tempted to bring him in this week, with Cucho Hernandez not offering a great deal last week.

ST: Joshua King

Another who has performed well so far this season. Needs to start finding the net a bit more, however.
