Newcastle United rebel Joey Barton is convinced he will play against Arsenal in this weekend's Premier League opener.
The midfielder trained with the first team on Monday - a week after he was told to find a new club.
He claimed on Twitter he was "looking forward to Arsenal on Sat. I'll be playing" - although he later tried to clarify the statement, adding: "That comment was not literally to be taken on board.
"Know (sic) one knows the team yet."
