In a video posted by the club on social media, Partey responded with a simple “coconut milk and porridge” when asked about his pre-game food ritual, a routine he says keeps him prepared for the pitch.

Partey, who has excelled both in his primary midfield role and occasionally as a right-back, appears to be sticking with this unique food choice, and some Arsenal fans found his preference amusing and unexpected.

Other Arsenal players also shared their pre-match meal favourites. Mikel Merino, who scored his first goal for Arsenal in their recent 2-2 draw with Liverpool, prefers spaghetti with tomato sauce, while Italy’s Jorginho and Oleksandr Zinchenko both opted for pasta—with Zinchenko adding a twist of “cajun pasta with chicken.”

In the hard-fought match, Arsenal held the lead twice but were met with strong resistance from Arne Slot’s Liverpool side, who equalized both times, ending the game in a draw.
