Ghanaian midfielder, Thomas Partey, is positive of his side(Arsenal) picking all three maximum points when they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
The Gunners(Arsenal) gave away a two-goal lead to draw at Liverpool and did the same with West Ham United at the Olympic Stadium in London before coming from behind to draw 3-3 with Southampton over the weekend at the Emirates Stadium.
The dynamics look complicated at the moment for Mikel Arteta and his charges as it stands, will have to beat Manchester City in their backyard to maintain their brighter league-winning chances or hope their direct contenders will drop points in their remaining fixtures.
Thomas Partey before the game admitted it will be a tedious task but is very optimistic with the right mentality and strong approach, they will be able to fulfill that.
“I think everything depends on us – we have to go [to City] with the mentality to play football and plays we know. And, in the end, we have to try and win.”
“We have to approach it as a game in that we do everything that we did from the beginning of the season and I am sure we can win if we do that.”
“It’s normal that we feel frustrated after Friday as we could have done better. We worked so hard during the week for the game.”
“We cannot put our heads down because now is not the time to drop heads. We have to keep on fighting, we have to keep on pushing and in the end, we will get better results,” Partey was quoted by Daily Mail.
The all-important fixture is slated for 1900GMT (7:00 pm) on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, at the Etihad Stadium.
