Arsenal’s Best Starting Eleven Against Liverpool

Center Backs: Laurent Koscielny and Gabriel Paulista

The Frenchman has secured a spot in the Arsenal first team.  Though Paulista doesn’t have much big game experience as a Gunner, he gets the start due to his aggression and ability to read the game, shown through his average 3.5 interceptions per game- Mertesacker averages 2.1 (per whoscored.com).

This stat could prove crucial as Arsenal have been shaky at the back this season especially in the latter stages of matches- remember the last time the Gunners played Liverpool? Both central defenders show their shared desire to win games every time they step on the pitch, too.
