Chelsea vs Arsenal: Zinchenko Sends Warning to Mykhailo Mudryk Ahead of London Derby

• Oleksandr Zinchenko has sent Mykhailo Mudryk some explicit banter ahead of their meeting this weekend
• The two teammates will face off when their clubs, Chelsea and Arsenal, meet in the Premier League
• Mudryk was supposed to join Arsenal but opted to move to West London instead

Oleksandr Zinchenko has sent an explicit warning to Mykhailo Mudryk as they prepare to go head-to-head this Saturday in the London derby.

Arsenal will make the short trip to Stamford Bridge when the Premier League resumes, looking to build on their good early season form as they chase a first title since 2004.

They came close last season, only for them to tumble late into the campaign and allow Manchester City to win a third consecutive title. They are currently second on the table, behind their North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on goals scored.

Chelsea, meanwhile, appears to have finally gotten their groove going under Mauricio Pochettino. They have won their last three games in all competitions but still sit in the bottom half of the table.

Zinchenko's warning to Mudryk

Ahead of the West London clash, Zinchenko warned his international teammate of the consequences of scoring against Arsenal, as reported by Football London. Mudryk recently got his first goal for Ukraine against Malta.

"I told him… ‘if you do or attempt to do that on Saturday, I’ll rip your (expletive) off’," said Zinchenko when asked about Mudryk's goal.

The two players featured in both of Ukraine's games in the October window. They are in prime position to qualify for next year's Euro Championships but must fend off Italy next month.

Mudryk has some sort of history with Arenal after he turned them down in January to move to Chelsea instead. He struggled to adapt to Premier League life but recently got his first goal against Fulham.
