Centre-Back – Mats Hummels
Moving inside, Mats Hummels takes the first centre-back slot as our ball-playing centre-back due to his ability to stride out of defence and instigate attacks. This quality is backed by a solid 81 per cent pass accuracy and 80% take on success.
Centre-Back – Per Mertesacker
Joining Hummels as the second centre-back will be his international team-mate Per Mertesacker, who has been in fine form for the Gunners this term with a 92 per cent pass accuracy and a 100% tackle success rate so far.
Right-Back – Bacary Sagna
And finally, the right-back slot goes to Bacary Sagna due to Lucasz Piszczek‘s injury. But Sagna merits a place due to his good form for Arsenal, winning 100 per cent of his tackles and maintaining a 86% pass accuracy so far in the current campaign.
