Arsenal manager Arteta reveals Thomas Partey wants to start against Burnley

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says Thomas Partey has put himself forward to be selected for Saturday's trip to Burnley.

Partey came on as a substitute in the 1-0 win over Norwich City last weekend.

Asked if Partey was available to start against the Clarets, Arteta said: "He is there.

"He has been training in and out this week, his load had to be managed because it was the early stages of the injury, what he had, but he is pushing everyone like he always does and he wants to be involved.

"We will make the decision at the weekend of what is best for him."
