Thomas Partey returns to midfield as Arsenal prepare for Wolves clash

Thomas Partey is set to return to his natural defensive midfield role in Arsenal's Premier League clash against Wolves, following his stint at right-back. Mikel Arteta aims to capitalize on Partey’s tactical awareness, ball recovery, and distribution to strengthen the midfield and offer stability.

This move allows Declan Rice to continue excelling in an advanced No. 8 role, creating a dynamic partnership that combines defensive solidity and attacking transitions.

Partey’s presence will also be key in shielding Arsenal’s backline against Wolves' key attacker, Matheus Cunha.

With Partey back in midfield, Arsenal hopes to dominate possession, neutralize Wolves’ threats, and secure a crucial win to maintain their momentum in the Premier League title race. His role could prove decisive in ensuring victory.
