Jamie Carragher has suggested Arsenal's title hopes rest on the performances of defensive stalwarts William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and David Raya.

Nottingham Forest stars Chris Wood and Matz Sels have been included in the 2024-25 PFA Team of the Year alongside Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak.

Arsenal’s preparations for the upcoming season have been significantly bolstered by the return of key defenders Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber to full training. The duo were spotted taking part in sessions ahead of the Gunners’ upcoming friendly clash against Villarreal and they are now in line to feature in the club's Premier League opener against Manchester United.

The north London rivalry has found a new lease of life on social media after Tottenham forward Richarlison took a cheeky swipe at Arsenal’s Gabriel following their pre-season meeting in Hong Kong. The Brazilian striker, who played a key role in Spurs’ 1-0 win over the Gunners, took to Instagram to share a photo of his Man of the Match trophy and that sparked a online feud between the two stars.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has provided a promising update regarding the fitness of Gabriel Magalhaes, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori ahead of the new Premier League season. Speaking after his side’s narrow 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong, the Spanish manager expressed confidence that the trio will be ready to feature when the Gunners kick off their campaign against Manchester United on August 17.
