Arsenal face derby test without defensive rock
Arsenal will be without Gabriel Magalhaes for the north London derby after the Brazilian suffered a thigh injury on international duty. The 27-year-old, ever-present in all 11 league games, could be out until January — giving Liverpool fans unexpected hope.
Mikel Arteta must reshuffle his back line, weighing options like Piero Hincapie, Cristhian Mosquera, or Riccardo Calafiori. With Arsenal still leading the league by eight points, the Gunners will aim to fire again — though defending Spurs’ attack without Gabriel might feel like doing yoga in a hurricane.
