Arsenal’s best two center backs on any given day are Laurent Koscielny and Gabriel Paulista. They looked absolutely masterful again against Stoke City and they figure to be the paring for the long run. In the 5 games that they have started together, they have only surrendered 1 goal and they have not lost.

Despite Koscielny’s lingering back problem, this match has far too much implication for Wenger to run the risk of Calum Chambers in the back four.

Meanwhile, Gabriel is becoming as first-choice as he can be. The Brazilian has shaken off all uneasiness and will look to continue his string of effectiveness against Zagreb.
