Premier League: Ranking the top 5 defensive duos of the current season

#2 Christian Kabasele and Jose Holebas – Watford

With their issues aside, they have been a powerhouse in terms of stopping the opposition.

Watford have been many things this season, but most importantly, they have been consistent with their plays from the back. With Jose Holebas being the pacy left-back, who jumps to the defence almost immediately, to the Belgian-Congolese Christian Kabasele, who stays at the back of the defensive line, making sure that nobody enters his territory without taking permission.

Javi Garcia has laid down an unparallel form of defensive play with this Watford legion, combining the two defenders in a very unexpected manner. Something, not even the top teams would expect.

Though the two have had their issues in the past, with an array of inter-plays between the left back and the centre-back, they have now made it 4 in a row for Hornets. A much-underestimated victory over the mighty Spurs sealed the deal for Watford, as the duo made sure that they didn't capitalize.
