John Terry has singled out Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba and Declan Rice for special praise ahead of the north London derby, crediting the trio with making Arsenal a near ‘impenetrable’ force.

One of Arsenal’s setbacks came immediately prior to the international break, though, as Brian Brobbey popped up with a last-gasp equaliser for Sunderland to deny the league leaders of maximum points.
