Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has reiterated the team’s determination to remain in the Premier League title race, even after losing ground to Liverpool. The Gunners’ recent 2-2 draw with Aston Villa left them six points behind league leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

“We know it’s a tough challenge, but we’re not giving up,” Partey stated. “We’ve shown that we can compete with the best, and we’ll keep fighting until the end of the season. Every point is crucial, and we’ll give our all to stay in contention.”
Partey acknowledged the physical and mental demands of the Premier League but emphasized the importance of self-belief and resilience. “You aim to be at the top, so you naturally look at those ahead, but our main focus is to believe in ourselves, strive for better, concentrate, and win our games,” he explained. “We have a strong squad and a great manager in Mikel Arteta.
