    Watford 0-2 Arsenal

    It's only the Arsenal fans you can hear inside Vicarage Road now. I thought they were singing about Harry Maguire which seemed odd, but the inclusion of paella in the lyrics makes me think it's actually Dani Ceballos.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

    He makes this all look very easy indeed. Watford are caught out again on the turnover, right-back Ainsley Maitland-Niles streaks into the area and squares for goal machine Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to convert into an open goal.

    Arsenal almost send speedster Nicolas Pepe in on goal but the pass is not into his stride and Watford can get back.

    Watford 0-1 Arsenal

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored seven of Arsenal's last 10 Premier League goals in open play. Worth getting the chequebook out for.

    Vicarage Road is bubbling with displeasure now as Arsenal take hold of the ball, and maybe take control of the game.

    Watford 0-1 Arsenal

    Watford had had a good 10 minutes before that goal and had Arsenal looking flustered, but now they look vlunerable. Mesut Ozil is left in space on the right and he feeds a cross/shot across goal which just evades both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the far corner.

    Aubameyang has had seven touches, and two of those were involved in putting the ball in the back of the net.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

    Arsenal have been pretty average, pretty rubbish in fact for the first quarter of this match. But with just their second shot of the day they take the lead, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is lethal.

    Arsenal win the ball on halfway - Watford want a foul but get no joy - Sead Kolasinac is able to carry the ball down the left and find the man from Gabon just inside the area. He spins and shoots in one movement, driving past Ben Foster and in.

    Brilliant.

    Watford 0-0 Arsenal

    It's always a bit baffling when a team gets a new manager and suddenly up their game like this, winning everything, pressing Arsenal high up the pitch, not letting them settle.

    What can a new manager say?

    "Try a bit harder lads."

    Watford 0-0 Arsenal

    The home crowd are enjoying this. High tempo, flowing stuff from the hosts now as Etienne Capoue plays a one two and drives Watford up to the edge of the area - but his final ball isn't quite right.

    Corner though - foul given. Arsenal can reset.

    Watford on top, and looking good! What a pass from Etienne Capoue, firing out to the left to find Gerard Deulofeu. He beats Ainsley Maitland-Niles all too easily and lays it back to Jose Holebas, in space - leans back and slashes it over.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 11 mins

    Watford 0-0 Arsenal

    Bernd Leno has made a few errors in the Arsenal goal but he remains a good shot-stopper, flying to his left to tip over a stinging drive from Tom Cleverley! That all came from good play on the right by Will Hughes.

    Watford 0-0 Arsenal

    Ainsley Maitland-Niles wins a free-kick on the right, Mesut Ozil's ball in is decent but it's headed out by Craig Dawson. Slow start to proceedings.

    As a neutral I've always been a David Luiz fan as he keeps things interesting - but that's such a shoddy pass, giving it away cheaply. Will Hughes is able to put in a dangerous ball from the right but it's well dealt with in the end. That's got the crowd up though, as Gerard Deulofeu has a curler easily saved...

    The end of Javi Gracia means the end of 4-4-2 for Watford. Minute's silence please.

    Gerard Deulofeu is playing on the left.

    Quique Sanchez Flores took a modest round of applause from the stands before kick-off, now he's just smouldering in the dugout. Arsenal playing slowly from left to right in these early stages.

    Someone has cut through the power cables for Radio 5 live at Vicarage Road! They are ploughing on but warn it could be a bit dicey.

    Press play above to listen in anyway. Away we go!

    Mesut Ozil will start an away Premier League game for just the eighth time under Unai Emery, with this his first such start in the competition since April last season (vs Wolves).

    Defensively Arsenal are ill-disciplined as a unit, they have all got mistakes in them. Luiz can be a liability.

  20. 'Big frustration'published at 16:26 British Summer Time 15 September 2019

    FT: Bournemouth 3-1 Everton

    Everton

    Everton manager Marco Silva told BBC Sport: "It was a big frustration. we lost the game and we gave some things too easily to our opponent. We have to be ruthless away from home and you have to be clinical in attack.

    "They won the second ball and the third ball. We reacted and equalised and then we introduced some fresh legs in our attacking line but then we conceded in that moment.

    "As always, we have a lot of work to do. Our home form is fantastic but to win our away games we have to be more aggressive and more solid so that we do not concede easy goals."
