#4 Mustafi and Koscielny are the real deal
The Shkodran Mustafi-Laurent Koscielny partnership at the back seems to be flourishing even better than the Arsenal fans would have hoped for. The duo have now kept three clean sheets in a row and look untroubled for the most part of the game.
Despite having similar playing styles, the German-French pair have still managed to complement each other brilliantly and have provided much needed defensive stability to the Arsenal side.
While Mustafi is the more aggressive of the two, often launching into tackles and throwing himself into aerial duels, Koscielny is more sensible in his approach and often drops off, covering for his partner and relying on positioning and reading of the game to win the ball.
Together, they seem to be getting better with each game and will definitely play a huge role going forward in Arsenal’s title challenge.
