Jorginho delivers Mikel Arteta prediction as Arsenal face Premier League title pressure

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.
