Everton 0-0 Arsenal: 5 hits and flops | Premier League 2019-20

#1 Hit: Calum Chambers

Is Calum Chambers Arsenal's best centre-back?

It’s no secret that Arsenal’s defence has been the main source of their woes this season. In 18 league games, the Gunners have conceded an appalling 27 goals, more than everyone in the top 9. Today’s 0-0 draw with Everton was the team’s first clean sheet in 15 games.

For a team that’s only won once in 13 games, a clean sheet is almost like a win for these players who are scraping the bottom of the barrel for confidence. This rare clean sheet is no surprise when you consider Calum Chambers was at the heart of the team’s defence. He was also involved in the club’s first clean sheet of the season away at Newcastle.

In his man of the match performance, the 24-year-old won 5 aerial duels, made 6 clearances, 2 interceptions and 3 tackles. He also impressed with vital blocks that denied the Toffees clear chances at goal. If Chambers can continue this level of performance, it’ll leave Sokratis and David Luiz to fight to be his partner for the rest of the season with Mustafil looking over their shoulder.
