Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points with a dramatic 4-3 victory over Luton Town on Tuesday evening.
Takehiro Tomiyasu didn't make the trip due to injury and was replaced by Ben White while Jakub Kiwior and Kai Havertz replaced Zinchenko and Leandro Trossard as the Gunners named three changes from Saturday's win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Gunners hit the front on 20 minutes when Gabriel Martinelli latched onto a cutback from Bukayo Saka, who was making his 200th appearance and tapped in with ease.
However, the host bounced back four minutes later after a well-taken corner caught the Gunners napping before Gabriel Osho capitalised to head past David Raya.
Arsenal regained momentum ten minutes to halftime and had a chance to restore the lead through a curler from the right by Saka, but Thomas Kaminski pulled across his area to turn it behind.
Kaminski was breached though on the brink of halftime when Gabriel Jesus leaped onto a pin-point cross from White to head in the near corner.
Luton were back on level terms over five minutes in the second half after Elijah Adebayo outjumped Raya to a high ball and nodded in from yet another corner-kick.
The Gunners trailed for the first time as Ross Barkley worked through a host of challengers left of the area to get goal-side and finished through a diving Raya.
Havertz came good in the 60th minute when he ran unmarked into the area to get hold of Jesus's through pass to dink over a charging Kaminski.
Changes from Arsenal after five minutes saw Kiwior and Martinelli removed for Trossard and Oleksandr Zinchenko respectively.
The chances weren't in short supply for the Gunners following the closing minutes, as Saka, Trossard, Jesus and Martin Odegaard over-loaded the defensive-third of Luton.
Havertz could've grabbed a second goal minutes from time after combining with Zinchenko around the area, but he blazed over from a decent scoring position.
With six minutes stoppage time added, Arsenal got the winner with the last kick of the game through Declan Rice who finished off Odegaard's delightful cross to confirm the win and maximum points.
