The four players were spotted walking around the outside of the ground, taking pictures of themselves and with fans.
It came after another early morning post on Eze's Instagram page at around 3am of Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard drinking from an Arsenal water bottle.

The picture was a response to a viral moment in April of a Manchester City fan drinking from a similar water bottle in the crowd as Pep Guardiola's side beat Chelsea 3-0 at Stamford Bridge. It was the day after Arsenal themselves had slipped to defeat against Bournemouth.
At the time, Man City had closed the gap to six points with a game in hand and a match against the Gunners to come. However, they just fell short of taking the title race to the final day.

There were also plenty of references to 'bottles', with Arsenal having been accused in the past of 'bottling' their Premier League title challenges, having finished second in the last three seasons.
In an Instagram story from Saka, he films Myles Lewis-Skelly with a champagne bottle. The midfielder, who has enjoyed a recent resurgence in form, says: "They called us bottlers, but now we've got the bottle in our hands".
