Quique Sanchez Flores begins his second spell in charge of Watford on Sunday against Arsenal at Vicarage Road in the Premier League.

The 54-year-old was reappointed over the international break after the Hornets parted ways with Javi Gracia following a run of three defeats from their opening four games of the 2019-20 season.

Watford now take on an Arsenal side that have seven points from their first four matches and came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with rivals Tottenham Hotspur last time out.

Watford go in search of their first Premier League win of the season on Sunday, and the club will be hoping for an improvement in performance following a change in management.

The Hornets have conceded eight goals in their first four games, and Sanchez Flores has spoken about the importance of tightening up their defence in an interview with Simon Collings at the Evening Standard.

He said: “Even if you want to play like Manchester City, if you don’t defend that well, it is very difficult.”

The new boss may have to cope without some key players. Craig Cathcart is out with injury, while captain Troy Deeney is still sidelined following knee surgery, per BBC Sport.

Sanchez Flores faces a tough start to life back in the Vicarage Road hot seat. The Hornets take on Arsenal on Sunday and then travel to champions Manchester City.
