Rock-solid defence:

Forwards win you games, defenders win you championships. Arsenal provided the perfect example for this adage. Manager Mikel Arteta’s men conceded only 26 goals from 37 games (19 clean sheets), seven less than their nearest competitor Man City. Goalkeeper David Raya and the centre-back duo of Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba were instrumental in locking down opposition attackers. Manchester City (2018-19) are the only EPL champions in the last decade to have conceded fewer goals (22).
