Laurent Kocielny
Kocielny hasn’t been at the top of his game since returning from injury, but that will never effect his chances of retaining a spot on the back line. His partnership with Per Mertesacker is indispensable and Arsenal fans should be able to breathe a sigh of relief each time the two suit up together.
