3. Gabriel injury worry?

After clearly being hampered by something, the Brazilian was replaced with six minutes of normal time remaining. He went down at least three times in the second half before eventually being replaced.

It will be a nervous wait for Mikel Arteta, as having Holding and Kiwior as your two centre-backs for the rest of the season will no doubt cause angst, especially with a trip to St. James’ Park upcoming.

William Saliba is already out, and if we add Gabriel as well, it will be a nervous time as the Gunners look to keep pace with a rampaging City.
