Arsenal defenders have solidified their position at the apex of the Dream Team rankings, following their emphatic 5-0 victory over Chelsea at the Emirates. This dominant performance has reinforced the Gunners’ status as Premier League title contenders and further showcased the formidable nature of their defense.
Ben White, a key figure in Arsenal’s resolute backline, emerged as the unlikely hero of the night, amassing an impressive 19 points in Dream Team. The 26-year-old netted a brace, doubling his tally for the campaign and cementing his status as the outright top defender in the game.
Gabriel, another Arsenal defensive stalwart, sits just 16 points shy of his teammate in the defensive rankings, while William Saliba follows closely in third, 14 points behind. These three Arsenal regulars stand as the only defenders with over 200 points, a testament to their exceptional performances throughout the season.
Mikel Arteta’s tactical acumen has forged a defense that has proven superior to all others in the league. Arsenal leads in every key defensive metric, particularly in the crucial category of clean sheets. Despite their elimination from the Champions League, Arsenal’s remaining four fixtures provide a favorable opportunity for their defenders to maintain their impressive form.
Arsenal’s upcoming North London derby against Tottenham promises to be a highly competitive encounter. However, their subsequent fixtures against Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Everton present relatively favorable matchups. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it appears highly likely that Arsenal will conclude the campaign with three defenders on the Dream Team podium, a testament to their defensive prowess.
