Terry: Gabriel s absence has a great impact on the Gunners; the Blues are always a title contender

Hupu News November 20th This weekend, Arsenal will face Tottenham in the North London Derby. Before the game, Terry previewed the Derby in an interview with talkSPORT.

Terry said: "Gabriel's absence has a huge impact, especially as Arsenal is about to usher in a critical schedule. This year, he has shown a dominant performance in both the defense of his own penalty area and the offensive end of the opponent's penalty area."

"Gabriel can also contribute goals through set pieces, so his absence is a major loss for Arsenal. Even if he only misses There will also be two important London derbies in the next few weeks - he is very familiar with this type of game, so his absence will have a profound impact on Arsenal. "

"To be honest, I was a little lucky to see Arsenal concede two goals against Sunderland - because I have to say that judging from the defensive data, their previous performance was too solid. Moreover, the performance of the two central defenders was extremely good. With Rice in front of him to intercept, this defensive configuration is almost indestructible."

"Arsenal has performed well this season and is currently at the top of the standings, but Gabriel's absence will have a great impact on the team, especially in the key schedule in the next few weeks."

When asked whether Chelsea is still the real favorite to compete for the championship, Terry replied: "I think that after being completely eliminated. Apart from that, we have always been part of the title race."

"Arsenal has a tough schedule in the next few weeks, with Tottenham at home and Chelsea away; but to be fair, Chelsea only needs to focus on their own performance now."

"Chelsea has shown some instability in some games this year, which I think is inevitable for a team dominated by young players, but. By the end of the season, we will definitely be in contention at the top of the table."

"Palmer is definitely a superstar and it's incredible to be able to perform like this at his age. What I like is that coach Maresca has been developing him carefully, but for young players, there is a need for more playing time. Gradually integrate into the team. "

"We have an early game against Burnley this weekend, which is a new experience for Palmer - he has hardly experienced early games before, so it will be interesting to see how the coach will arrange him. "

"Palmer has proven in important games that at his age, he is fully capable of handling the pressure of the big game. The focus of the outside world is no longer focused on Palmer as before, which is actually a good thing. "

" In the past few years, Palmer has been under tremendous pressure - the outside world expects him to continue to output, score goals, and perform well. Now that Esteban has arrived and scored, the pressure on Palmer has been relieved. This change is actually very fresh and very gratifying. "

" Moreover, when Palmer returns from injury, it will be like signing a new player for Chelsea - because he is a top player in his own right. The sooner he recovers, the stronger our starting lineup and the entire team will be, so we really hope that he can return as soon as possible. "

"If these two players can be in the team at the same time, Chelsea's offensive line will become very threatening. "
