Read our privacy policy Thomas Partey says Arsenal must quickly forget about Saturday’s momentum-stalling 1-1 draw at Brighton as attention turns to the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. “We need to forget and keep on working hard to win our next game.” Mikel Arteta’s men start a run of five successive home matches on Tuesday evening by beginning their two-legged League Cup tie with Newcastle. “It’s going to be amazing; we know how big the supporters are and the big part they play in the games that we play, and we’ll need them for this game.” Midfielder Partey filled in for the suspended Jurrien Timber at right-back on the south coast, while captain Martin Odegaard was only fit enough for a second-half cameo due to illness and top scorer Kai Havertz was again absent because of illness. “Hopefully on Tuesday we will be in a better position, let’s see.” Brighton’s improved second-half showing secured a sixth draw of an eight-match winless run which dates back to November.
