Liverpool v Arsenal combined XI: Gunners dominate defence but SAS in attack

Laurent Koscielny

Laurent Koscielny is the perfect partner to Per Mertesacker in the Arsenal back line, with his lightning pace a great counterpart to the German’s anticipation.

Koscielny is one of the best tight markers in the game, and so long as he continues to keep absurd mistakes to a minimum, he is worthy of a place in this team.
