Arsenal travel to take on Watford at Vicarage Road Stadium at tea-time on Tuesday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Gunners will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Watford was just over four years ago, in January 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 2 - 4 winners in a F.A. Cup match.
