It's gone a bit quiet at Vicarage Road. 

Watford go through the motions in midfield before Younes Kaboul tries to pump it forward but he overcooks it and it goes out of play.

Striker Odion Ighalo goes on the rampage for Watford before being halted in his tracks.

Laurent Koscielny ushers the ball away from danger, into the safe hands of Petr Cech.

That was absolutely a penalty. It wasn't even clumsy it was brutal.  

Mesut Ozil whips the ball into the penalty box and Nordin Amrabat comes scooting in to try and win the ball off Alexis Sanchez, but clatters the Arsenal striker round the head.

Sanchez looks in quite a lot of pain, and referee Kevin Friend gives the penalty.

Arsenal move the ball around in a tidy fashion. 

Mesut Ozil tries to control it in the box but it knocks out of play, and the Germany forward is in an offside position anyway. 

Free-kick on the left for Arsenal, parallel to the penalty area, and it's taken by Santiago Cazorla.

It's easily cleared by the heavily populated Watford defensive line. 

Arsenal play a bit of keep-ball from the back, before Watford snatch it back in midfield.

Nordin Amrabat moves up the right wing, the ball is fed over the top by Adlene Guedioura but it's easily caught by Petr Cech in the Arsenal goal. 

Off we go!

The teams are out on the pitch at Vicarage Road

It's a sea of yellow, with Watford in their home kit - a shade of sunshine - and Arsenal in luminous yellow socks, which look like they're made of hi-vis jackets. 

We're almost ready for kick-off.

Maybe the chants from Arsenal fans about spending some money will die down a little now that both defender Shkodran Mustafi and striker Lucas Perez are set to arrive, but it appears neither player will be involved in this weekend's fixture at Vicarage Road.

"The two signings would take the club's summer spending to well over £80m, but I'd still like to have seen Alexandre Lacazette among any new faces. Arsenal's interest is well known, yet he remains in Lyon.

Meanwhile, Walter Mazzarri has seen his squad bolstered in the last week or so by three new signings, with the Italian particularly fulsome in his praise for Roberto Pereyra, formerly of Juventus, who he feels can be the missing link in the team.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown on new Arsenal signing Lucas Perez: "He has tremendous pace and that's a variation Arsenal need in that final third. 

"At the moment a lot goes into Olivier Giroud and you need variety. 

"You have to test the back line. This is the Jamie Vardy Arsenal wanted but in the shape of a Spanish player."

Could Arsene Wenger answer the fans' call and splash the cash on some new signings?

The Gunners have reached a deal with Valencia for 24-year-old Germany centre-back Shkodran Mustafi, who is set to sign a five-year contract for a fee in excess of £35m.

They had already agreed to meet a 20m euro (£17.1m) clause to sign Deportivo La Coruna forward Lucas Perez, 27, who scored 17 goals in 37 games last season.

he deals would take Arsenal's spending to almost £100m since last season.

Speaking on Friday, before the players' medicals, Wenger said the club was "working on deals" and he was "99% confident" they would be concluded before the transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on 31 August.

"It looks like it will be frenetic in the last three days. Everyone has sat on money but we know they will all splash out now."

It's one draw and one loss apiece for Watford and Arsenal so far in the league this season.

The Hornets earned a point against Southampton but were then beaten by London rivals Chelsea. 

Walter Mazzarri's side also lost in the EFL Cup on Tuesday against League One Gillingham.

Arsenal, meanwhile, endured a bonkers opening day 4-3 defeat against Liverpool before a 0-0 draw with Champions Leicester last weekend.

There's a few new faces in the Watford team today.

Defender Younes Kaboul makes his debut in the starting XI after switching from Premier League rivals Sunderland for an undisclosed fee.

Record signing Roberto Pereyra, who arrived from Juventus on a five-year deal, makes the bench.

Same goes for full-back Daryl Janmaat, who has signed from Newcastle, and the wonderfully named Issac Success, a summer signing from Granada.
