3) Per Mertesacker – Arsenal
When the giant German has been paired with Laurent Koscielny at the back, and both have completed the full 90 minutes, Arsenal have never lost a Premier League match. This says a lot about just how well they complement each other in defence. Mertesacker has been a fantastic leader for the Gunners this term, and is practically unbeatable in the air. For such a tall man, he is also relaxed and composed in possession, and he has barely put a foot wrong all season.
