Who will win the Premier League player of the season?
Arsenal are leading the way in the title race and should they win, the likes of defender Gabriel and midfelder Declan Rice will surely be in contention.
Gabriel has been a vital player for the Gunners at the back as well as chipping in with some important goals, including a 90th-minute winner at Newcastle back in September.
In a season where it seems like Premier League football has had a bit of a throwback with its focus on physicality, Arsenal's Gabriel has been brilliant at both ends of the pitch.
You can class him as an old-school centre-half and the Brazilian is a force defensively, with Arsenal conceding just 22 goals in 31 league games this season.
Going forward, the 28-year-old has three goals and four assists. Since making his debut for Arsenal six years ago, no top-flight defender has more goals than the 20 he's scored.
Players like Bruno Fernandes, Antoine Semenyo and Dominik Szoboszlai have had impressive seasons with solid attacking numbers but ultimately it is Arsenal that lead the way in the Premier League.
Rice has notably had a fantastic campaign too but in terms of importance, no Arsenal player has been more influential than Gabriel in their quest for a first title since 2004.
Defenders do not often get individual recognition, but Gabriel has been a hugely influential figure in Arsenal's march towards the title.
I must admit that I did not rate the screaming Brazilian all that much when I first saw him play for Arsenal in a 2-0 defeat at St James' Park a few years ago.
But the much-improved centre-back has typified the journey Arsenal have gone on since that bruising night on Tyneside.
He has also embodied everything that has been so effective about Arteta's team this season.
Not only has Gabriel been a lynchpin in the top-flight's meanest defence – he has caused the opposition real problems at set-plays.
