Watch Arsenal Vs. Watford FA Cup Live Stream: Quarterfinal Clash As Cup Last Hope For Arsenal Silverware


Arsenal face Watford in an FA Cup quarterfinal match that will stream live Sunday — in match that Arsenal must win to have any realistic hope of taking home a trophy in any competition this year. And the Gunners appear well-positioned to advance to the semifinal, where they would be just two wins away from a third consecutive FA Cup championship, against a Watford team that enters the match on a stretch of dismal form, winning just two of their last 11 Premier League matches, while losing seven and drawing two.

For that matter, the Hornets — who sit 14th on the Premier League table, 11 rungs below Arsenal — have not exactly been overwhelming on their run to the FA Cup quarterfinal, winning each of their three matches so far by identical 1-0 scores.

For Arsenal, who continue to be smitten by a plague of injuries, the Premier League title appears almost certainly out of reach, as they trail top of the table Leicester City by eight points with just nine matches remaining. The Gunners would also have to leapfrog arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur who, five points back in second place, are now the only team with a plausible shot at catching the surprising Leicester side.

Arsenal also face elimination from the UEFA Champions League at mid-week week, when they travel to Barcelona for a Round of 16 second-leg showdown having already incurred a 2-0 deficit at home. To get into the Champions League quarterfinals, Arsenal must conquer the unlikely task of scoring at least three goals against the mighty La Liga leaders — at the Camp Nou.

So that leaves the FA Cup, where injuries appear to remain Arsenal’s top concern. Per Mertesacker and Gabriel joined the list of walking wounded last Tuesday in an FA Cup replay match against Hull City, won by Arsenal, while Aaron Ramsey attempted to come back from his leg woes, but was forced to leave the game after just a quarter-hour.

Watch Manager Arsene Wenger deliver the remainder of the increasingly dire team news for Arsenal in his Saturday press conference, in the video below.

For Arsenal, with its ongoing personnel shortage and trip to Barcelona coming up, 23-year-old Costa Rica star Joel Campbell is likely to see plenty of playing time. Campbell has played a key role in the Arsenal FA Cup campaign this year, starting three of the team’s tournament matches with a goal and an assist on his ledger.

For Watford, the game offers at least a chance at redemption for goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon. After he played an important role in the 2013 FA Cup campaign for Manchester City, starting every game until City made the final, then-manager Roberto Mancini benched the Romanian in favor of first-choice Joe Hart.

That left Pantilimon helpless, able only to watch as heavy underdog Wigan pulled off a startling upset and took home the coveted cup.
