Mikel Arteta told importance of one player who makes Arsenal and in-form Granit Xhaka tick

Arsenal's terrific start to the 2022/23 season has warranted plenty of praise for Mikel Arteta's players. And rightly so.

The Gunners are top of the Premier League after picking up 31 points out of a possible 35, losing only once in 12 games. Arteta has seemingly used the same XI throughout the season in his highly reliably 4-2-3-1 after finding a welcomed run of consistency within his squad.

One player who has made a huge difference this campaign is midfielder Thomas Partey. The Ghanian has appeared 13 times in all competitions this season but missed five games due to a thigh injury picked up in the 2-1 win over Fulham.
