Top 5 EPL Defenders so far this season

4. Sylvain Distin

He may have turned 36 last week, but there is still no slowing down for the big Frenchman, as he has played a big role in Everton’s early push for a Champions League spot. Distin has more experience than most defenders currently plying their trade in the Premier League, as he has had spells at the likes of Paris Saint Germain, Newcastle, Manchester City and Portsmouth before making the move to the blue side of Liverpool.

1. Laurent Koscielny

Koscielny

Arsenal are looking to be in their best shape in years, with the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud finally stepping up, while the signings of Mesut Ozil and Mathieu Flamini has added depth and confidence. Though there is one player who has been playing at the same level throughout his whole Arsenal career, and this season has been no different, as Laurent Koscielny has been a rock in the centre of the Gunners defence.

Many people think, including myself, that Koscielny is the best defender in the Premier League, and with his performances this season, there is no real argument to prove the contrary.
