Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has ranked Arsenal’s William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães among the top centre-back partnerships in Premier League history.

In a tweet shared on his X account on Friday, Carragher praised the Arsenal defenders, alongside other iconic pairings such as Chelsea’s John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho, and Manchester United’s Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

Carragher’s remarks came after Saliba and Gabriel delivered a solid performance in Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League 0-0 draw against Atalanta on Thursday.

Their impressive display reinforced Carragher’s view that the pair could be compared to some of the Premier League’s legendary defensive partnerships.

“Arsenal’s Gabriel & Saliba can go alongside some of the greatest defensive partnerships we’ve seen in the #PremierLeague era & before! Terry & Carvalho…Rio & Vidic,” Carragher tweeted.

The Arsenal centre-backs have been key players in Mikel Arteta’s defense, helping the Gunners compete at the highest level both domestically and in Europe.
