DC: Per Mertesacker
A key defensive player and leader for Arsene Wenger’s side, Per Mertesacker remains first choice at centre-back.

Another player remaining a key part of the back four, Laurent Koscielny should be a regular this season, though he and Mertesacker will likely rotate with Gabriel.
MC: Francis Coquelin
Now a fixture in this Arsenal side, young Frenchman Francis Coquelin is sure to keep his place even if new signings come in.
