Jorginho is keen to get back into the Arsenal starting XI for their game against Chelsea.
The Brazilian Italian has struggled to start matches in recent weeks as Mikel Arteta sticks to the midfield pairing he had used previously or experiments with Fabio Vieira.
However, Standard Sports reveals Jorginho wants to be in the team from the start of the match against Chelsea.
Arsenal has won none of their last four league games and the Euro 2020 winner hopes that will make Mikel Arteta tinker with his team and give him a chance from the start.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Jorginho has been good when he comes on in games for us and we probably need his calming influence in our midfield.
Arteta knows what he was getting when he added the midfielder to his squad and will only field him if he feels the ex-Chelsea man can do the job.
Chelsea has been in free-fall since Frank Lampard became their manager and we must beat them if we are serious about remaining in the title race until the end of the season.
We have lost the top spot, but we may get lucky with City dropping points in their other games, but if we don’t win ours, it would be meaningless to us.
Watch Arteta after Etihad defeat – “Man City deserved to win” “They are an exceptional team…..”

We have noting to lose or play for again..
Pls give him a chance to start. Btw party is out of form since.
Odegaard should be benched, he’s either tired ,lost confidence or its just becoming obvious that he lacks strength with Saliba unable to assist Partey since holding took over.
Thank you longbenark, I love ordegard but he cost us against soton and city..
He should be benched and allow Trossard to play his role.
Xhaka
I do not understand why we brought Trossard and Jorginho if we’re not going to play them.i have to admit it,I sometimes find it hard to believe MA claims that he picks players based on form,I mean Trossard even Jorginho had a positive impact against Villa.
@ S
Problem is his favourites and a lack of rotation.
Trossard has to play instead of Odegaard. Jorginho has to play instead of Xhaka (he looks really tired). Tierney has to play instead of Zinchenko (cannot defend) at LB position. Jesus has to rotate with Saka (needs to know his position isn’t guaranteed). Then either play Zinchenko in a packed midfield or drop the extra midfielder and go for Nketiah who is more of a finisher than Jesus even though Jesus is a more complete player against Chelsea.
I agree with both IGL& Gunsmoke.some fans keep using lack of depth squad but I disagree, MA had other decent/good options if only he dared make few changes.but apparently we are only armchair experts/managers!!
Not just that. We are supposed to be negative Arsenal and MA haters. Can you believe that.
Like you said he have enough squad depth. It needs rotation and team selection and not picking non Pl ready people like Vieira as the sole bit of rotation.
IGL, I guess Arteta is determined to give Vieira more chances because he doesn’t want a failure on his hands. They brought him here so they’ll be desperate not to be proven wrong about him. They’ve already made a few mistakes in the transfer market and bought a few players that don’t look good enough. This is normal I suppose.
Can’t understand why Jorginho is not involved more since his arrival, surely Tossard has to start in this one.
We all can believe Chelsea is on a free fall until they play Arsenal….tonight, complecency should be killed prior to kick off
