Lewis Dunk has been impressive for Brighton & Hove Albion in the heart of their defence this season. His assured performances for Chris Hughton's side caught the eye of England coach, Gareth Southgate, as he earned his first cap for the national side in 2018, making his debut in the Three Lions' 3-0 win over USA.

The Seagulls skipper has been leading by example with his no-nonsense defending, as they have kept 4 clean sheets, one more than Arsenal. Brighton have conceded fewer goals than top four chasing Gunners, with the latter conceding 31 goals as compared to 29 goals by the former.

Brighton & Hove Albion's defensive masterclass this season has been down to Lewis Dunk who has been offering calmness and leadership at the heart of their defence. Dunk's experience and leadership could be very valuable for Arsenal.
