Arsenal star drops hint on Mikel Arteta's starting line-up for Liverpool clash

Arsenal battle it out against Liverpool today in a hugely-anticipated Premier League clash at Anfield. 

The Gunners currently sit on top of the table, five points clear of Manchester City in second after Erling Haaland and co saw off Southampton 4-1 yesterday. There are now just nine games to go for each of the top two, with Arsenal's first of those coming this afternoon on Merseyside.

Ahead of the match, central midfielder Thomas Partey has hinted that he could be in Mikel Arteta's starting XI by posting a matchday graphic on Instagram. Of course, this doesn't mean he is guaranteed to start but considering the Ghana international's performances this season, he is one of the first names on Arteta's team sheet when fully fit.

It will be interesting to see what the north Londoners do in attack, with one of Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus likely to miss out. Jesus spent the best part of four months on the treatment table after sustaining a knee problem during the World Cup but the Brazilian international made his first league start since the turn of the year during last weekend's 4-1 victory over Leeds.

Jesus netted twice, starting alongside Martinelli and Trossard whilst Saka, who was under the weather, dropped to the bench. However, the Hale End academy graduate is now fully fit and available, giving Arteta a selection headache ahead of kick-off.
