Toure: ‘Maestro’ Gallas can inspire us to glory

KOLO TOURE believes the feeling of ‘togetherness’ within the squad under “maestro” captain William Gallas can make a crucial difference in Arsenal’s title challenge this season.

The Gunners opened up a four-point advantage at the top of the Premier League following Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at Newcastle, where they came under sustained pressure.

Wenger takes his men back to the north east on Sunday against Middlesbrough, where injured quartet Mathieu Flamini, Alex Hleb, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie are still not expected to feature.
