Gabriel will be absent for at least 1 month, with a winning rate of only 40% during his absence. Arsenal begins a devilish schedule.

The November international match day has ended. After the return of the international football team, the Premier League will begin its sprint phase. Coupled with the two-front battle in the Champions League, every winter is the most difficult time for the five major league teams. Arsenal, the leader of the Premier League, has been ranked second in the Premier League for the past three seasons. This season, the replacement of new and old players in Liverpool has not been smooth. Arsenal has reached its best season to compete for the Premier League title, but Arsenal has recently encountered huge troubles. According to reports from many British media, Arsenal's main defender Gabriel will be injured for at least a month. This is a huge blow to Arsenal, which aims to compete for the Premier League title.

According to statistics from Sky Sports, Arsenal are completely different teams with Gabriel and without Gabriel. Since September 2020, in the 171 games that Gabriel has played for Arsenal, the team has won 110 games, with a winning rate of 64%. In the 30 games that Gabriel has missed, Arsenal has only won 12 games, and the winning rate has dropped to 40%. This means that Arsenal with Gabriel has a 24% lower winning rate than Arsenal without Gabriel, a huge gap.

With Gabriel absent, Arsenal faces a difficult schedule. In the next two and a half weeks, Arsenal will have to fight five games, including the Premier League main game against Tottenham, the Champions League main game against Bayern, the Premier League away game against Chelsea, the Premier League main game against Brentford, and the Premier League away game against Aston Villa.

In the Premier League standings, Arsenal is only 4 points ahead of second-place Manchester City. Recently, the three major Manchester City attackers, Haaland, Doku, and Foden, are all in great form. Arsenal does not have Gabriel, and with the devil's schedule, Manchester City may catch up with or even overtake Arsenal in the Premier League standings. Manchester City has rich experience in chasing points and winning the Premier League title. Arsenal's biggest opponent in the Premier League title this season will be Manchester City.
