6. Arsenal
Shots conceded per game: 11.8
Premier League goals conceded: 26
Arsenal have had the best defence in the Premier League this season – so long as two results are discounted.
The Gunners conceded six at Manchester City, and five at Liverpool, meaning that in their remaining 24 games they have allowed just 15 goals.
Although Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini have done a fine job protecting the defence, they don’t tend to perform well as a partnership, and Aaron Ramsey’s return cannot come soon enough.
