Thomas Partey claims Arsenal 'belong' in Champions League as top-four race heats up

Thomas Partey has claimed Arsenal 'belong' in the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta's team beat Leicester City 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday to move a point clear of Manchester United.

The Gunners also have three games in hand over Ralf Rangnick's side, and Partey says his teammates are confident of securing fourth-spot.

"We're a very big club, it's one of the biggest in the Premier League," Partey told Sky Sports. "And [the Champions League] is where they belong.

"We have to be competing in every competition, that's the objective of the club.

"We have to go game by game, we have to approach every game as a final and that's what we have to be focussed on."
