Centre-backs
Laurent Koscielny – 8/10
One of the most technically gifted central defenders in the entire division and although the North Londoners were on the end of some heaving defeats last campaign, at the back they are constantly improving.
Per Mertesacker – 7/10
Not as reliable on the ball as Koscielny, but alongside the France international makes up one half of one of the finest defensive partnerships in the English top tier.
Thomas Vermaelen – 5/10
Despite being the club captain has been left on the periphery of the starting XI, although seems keen to reassert himself and his versatility of also being able to play at left-back makes him an attractive option.
