Comments:

League position: 14th Watford remained as the Premier League's lowest scorers at home in 2015-16 with one goal in five matches. The Hornets had still yet to win a Premier League game in the month of October (drawn four and lost six).

Comments:

League position: 2nd Arsenal had now won three Premier League games in a row by margins of three goals or more for the first time since December 2009. The Gunners had now won nine and lost one of their last 11 Premier League away games. Alexis Sanchez had now scored in six consecutive games for club and country; netting ten goals. The Premier League's Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Arsenal's third goal against Watford on Saturday 17th October 2015 has been confirmed as an Aaron Ramsey goal.
