Can't believe it, what kind of s*** luck is this," one Arsenal supporter tweeted."This cannot be happening," another posted, while a third wrote: "That's it, title race is over."Others, however, were a little more optimistic, and saw Partey's absence as an opportunity for recently-signed Jorginho to prove his worth, with one fan writing: "Jorginho masterclass incoming".Can Arsenal beat Man City without Partey?
