We are back in Premier League action on Tuesday against Watford, and ahead of the game Rob Kelly sat down with Arsène Wenger to preview the match.
THE BOSS’ WATCHING BRIEF
If Arsène Wenger had any concerns about how his enforced absence from the touchline would affect his side, they would have been quickly blown away at St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday.
Three first-half goals, followed by two after the interval, made for a hugely-satisfactory evening on the south coast and gave the Gunners a timely boost heading into a massive week for the club.
For not only do they face Watford on Tuesday - the same night as Premier League leaders Chelsea visit Liverpool - but they also must travel to Stamford Bridge next weekend.
