Jorginho and Oleksandr Zinchenko have all dropped team news hints ahead of Arsenal's clash with Bournemouth this afternoon. The duo have posted pre-match graphic previews of the clash to their respective Instagram stories.
Mikel Arteta's side will welcome the Cherries to the Emirates Stadium this afternoon as they look to extend their three-game winning streak. Arsenal head into the tie top of the Premier League table with a five point lead over Manchester City.
The north Londoners took great advantage of their game in hand as they ran riot at the King Power Stadium, defeating Leicester City 4-0. The Gunners will be hoping they can pick up from where they left off with Pep Guardiola in hot pursuit.

And, ahead of what is poised to be blockbuster bout, Arteta previewed the tie. Speaking to football.london, the Gunners boss said: "I watch the games against Brighton, Wolves, Newcastle and Manchester City and to be fair I’m really impressed with what they are doing.
"They haven’t conceded much in those games and they could have had very different results in two of those games. The Man City game, obviously, the quality when they open up and they finish the actions it makes the score big, but they were really competitive again."
Arteta continued by speaking on his relationship with Gary O'Neil, who has stepped up from assistant head coach to boss at Bournemouth. The Spaniard said: "I’ve known him for many years because we’ve been in the league together, and I’ve been really impressed with what he’s done throughout his career and the way he approaches every game.
"The way he sets the team and what the team is doing right now. I know him personally as well, so I think he is doing a great job [at Bournemouth]. It is great to see managers of that age as well occupying those roles and doing well."
While Jorginho and Zinchenko posting graphic previews of the Bournemouth fixture on their social media profiles does not necessarily mean they will both start, it does usually suggest they will be involved in some capacity. Follow live coverage of the game in our blog here.
