Kieran Gibbs vs Nacho Monreal - The Statistics

In Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker, Arsenal held one of the strongest centre-back pairings in the Premier League at the back end of last season.

Santi Cazorla, for example, often returns from some exotic location or island floating somewhere far away from the comfort of Europe and he also doesn't return until it's too late.
