Arsenal midfielders Jorginho and Thomas Partey have both hinted that they could be in Mikel Arteta's starting line-up for this evening's clash against Everton.
The Gunners go into the match at the Emirates Stadium sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table, two points above of second-placed Manchester City. A win tonight would therefore send them five points clear of Pep Guardiola and co, who have played one extra league match this season.
Ahead of the match in north London, fans have been unsure who will be starting at the base of midfield. Partey has traditionally been the first choice No.6 but the Ghana international's recent injury woes allowed January signing Jorginho to come into the starting XI for recent wins over Aston Villa and Leicester City.

Partey came off the bench for a brief cameo at the King Power Stadium, playing alongside the Italian as the away side held onto their slender 1-0 advantage. Now, both Partey and Jorginho have posted matchday graphics on their Instagram accounts, potentially hinting that they will both be involved against the Toffees.
Of course, this doesn't guarantee that both of them will start the match, but it will be interesting to see what Arteta chooses to do for the crucial game against Sean Dyche's side. "The question mark on Thomas," Arteta said in his pre-match press conference.
"He hasn’t trained much but looks like he could be available. Let’s see how he goes today. We’ve missed him in the past few games and hopefully he’ll be back."
