Arsenal are looking to continue a run which has seen them win their last six matches in all competitions when Watford visit on Saturday. Ahead of the crucial match expectations are so high from Mesut Ozil. The German didn’t perform against Everton as expected. It has become a kind of a theme for Arsenal where players around Ozil are starting to improve but Ozil is not reaching the levels he once promised. Famous journalist Jeremy Wilson has compared Ozil with Aaron Ramsey and underlined his lack of productive game.
“Ramsey has more assists and goals than Ozil since start of last season. I'm not saying he's a better player, but bumper contract for Ozil last January - in a month they also paid big for Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan - seems to have caused as many problems as it solved.”
Arsenal and Watford have met on 29 occasions in the past with Arsenal winning 15 of those competitive contests. The Hornets aren’t far off, however, with 12 wins to their name.
