Watford
Watford were handed an injury scare with wing king Ismaila Sarr after the Old Trafford draw, and the attacker is set to miss this London derby with that hamstring injury.
Kiko Femenia also missed out against Man United with a knock but is expected to be back for this one, while Peter Etebo and Nicolas Nkoulou continue their recoveries.
Ken Sema or Joao Pedro will compete to take Sarr's spot in the attack, but Hodgson should otherwise see no reason to make any alterations whatsoever after an impressive outing at the Theatre of Dreams.
Watford possible starting lineup:
Foster; Ngakia, Cathcart, Samir, Kamara; Cleverley, Sissoko, Louza; Pedro, Dennis, King
Arsenal
Meanwhile, Arsenal's top scorer Smith Rowe was absent from the Wolves win after contracting an illness, but the England international has been pictured in training and should be fine to feature on Sunday.
Arteta therefore should only have one injury concern in the form of Takehiro Tomiyasu and his troublesome calves, but Cedric Soares has stepped up to the plate in the past couple of weeks.
Pepe and Eddie Nketiah may come into Arteta's thinking for starts after both men made quite the impact from the bench against Wolves, but it is difficult to see Lacazette or Gabriel Martinelli ceding their places, although the latter could very well drop out for Smith Rowe.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Lacazette
Prediction: Watford 0-2 Arsenal
