The game is regarded as a very important one for the Gunners who are aspiring to lift the Premier League title this season.

Jorginho, who moved from Chelsea to Arsenal for €11.3 million in January 2023, signed a one-year contract extension at the Emirates this week.

He has been rotated in and out of the starting lineup since his arrival but has mostly been solid and dependable whenever called upon.

Arteta, 42, was asked about Jorginho’s importance in his plans and he replied, “He’s a very important player for all coaches because his game understanding and the way he communicates and coaches people is excellent. As a model, it’s very difficult to find someone better than him.”
