Gabriel is the highest scoring centre-back in the EPL since the start of last season

Manchester City hosts Arsenal in the marquee match of the 5th round of the Premier League.

At halftime, Arsenal holds a narrow lead. City opened the scoring through Erling Haaland, but Arsenal responded with goals from defenders Ricardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhães.

Interestingly, no central defender has scored more goals than Gabriel (6) in the Premier League since the start of last season.

Notably, in the middle of the first half, City suffered a setback when Rodri was forced off due to injury, with the Spaniard being replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
