Arsenal are challenging for their first Premier League title since 2004 but face stiff competition from reigning champions Manchester City. The Gunners hold a two-point lead over Pep Guardiola's side heading into this weekend's fixture against Leicester City.
The north Londoners suffered a setback in their title challenge after losing to Everton, drawing to Brentford, before suffering another defeat against City at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta's side returned to winning ways against Aston Villa last weekend with a dramatic 4-2 victory at Villa Park, scoring two goals in injury time.
Jorginho has enjoyed a run of games as a starter under Arteta after Thomas Partey suffered a muscle injury, seeing him miss the last two games for the Gunners. The Italian midfielder was signed by Arsenal in the January transfer window from London rivals Chelsea in a £12million deal.

Jorginho is enjoying life under Arteta in north London and has already highlighted the positive atmosphere in the group, with the 31-year-old already building strong relationships and becoming a respected member in the dressing room. Jorginho has now made a bold prediction regarding Arteta's future as the Gunners continue their Premier League title fight.
Speaking to BeIN Sports, the Italy international discussed his start to life at Arsenal and predicted plenty of success for Arteta in the future. Jorginho said: "I joined because the project is really good, I was so excited and looking forward [to signing for Arsenal]."
When asked about Arteta, the January signing responded: "He's a manager that, for sure, is going to achieve so much because of the mentality he has. You can feel he loves what he does.
"He can give you so much [as a player], his passion for every single day of work. It's an example for everyone."
Asked what Arteta said to him when he arrived at Arsenal, Jorginho replied: "Welcome! He was happy for me to join and made me feel at home straight away, it was really good."
