Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey remains optimistic about the Gunners’ title ambitions despite a recent dip in form. Following a narrow defeat to Newcastle at St. James’ Park, which marked their second loss in three league outings, Arsenal has fallen to fifth in the Premier League standings, trailing leaders Liverpool by seven points. This challenging period has fueled skepticism among fans and pundits regarding Arsenal’s title credentials, especially as they aim to improve on two consecutive second-place finishes.

In the wake of the Newcastle defeat, Partey urged patience, reminding supporters that there is still ample time for the Gunners to regain momentum. “The season is long,” he remarked. “We want to get back to winning ways, try to win our games, and fight forward.”

Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures offer critical opportunities to turn things around. The Gunners face Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday, followed by a pivotal league clash against Chelsea on Sunday. Partey views these games as an ideal moment for a resurgence. “I think it’s the best moment to turn things around, to show that we are not just any team—we are Arsenal—and we can do everything possible that is expected of us,” he added confidently.
