    However, he is lacking game-time as he only featured for the final ten minutes in the win over Leicester City.
    But if Arteta is willing, then he could give him a chance to start over January arrival of Jorginho.
    Arteta said on Partey: “He hasn’t obviously trained much, only had a session and he will train today.

    Aaron Ramsdale, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White are also set to keep their spots in the starting eleven.
    Goalscorer Gabriel Martinelli was able to brush off a knock against the Foxes and will likely keep his place.
    The Brazilian could then be joined by Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka in supporting the striker.
    Eddie Nketiah will continue up front in the absence of Gabriel Jesus.
    Although, Jesus could be back in time to feature before the international break in March.
    Alternatively, Arteta could keep Jorginho in place of Partey and leave him rested.
    The manager could also hand breaks to Zinchenko, White and Martinelli and give more minutes to Kieran Tierney, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Leandro Trossard.
