The absence of Arsenal’s key midfielder will not be welcome news given that they have now lost both of their last two games.
Partey sustained a muscular injury and is anticipated to miss the match.
Due to the 29-year-old’s absence, Jorginho might get the chance to make his full debut.
Prior to tonight, Arsenal had not changed a single thing from their previous six games.
Recently, the two teams squared off in the FA Cup, with Man City winning thanks to a goal from Nathan Ake.
Partey took a knock in that match and was forced to leave at halftime, but he came back for their subsequent league match.
But in recent head-to-head matches in the Premier League, the City citizens have triumphed 10 times in a row.
Fortunately, it doesn’t appear that the injury is serious.
