Arsenal has the best defense in the Premier League.

Arsenal is the most in-form team in the Premier League. Besides being overwhelmingly strong offensively at the moment, they are also the best defensive team in the league, and the leader in defense is William Saliba, who has developed into one of the world's best center-backs. 

Saliba is the defender with the most clean sheets this season, having featured in almost every match for Arsenal in the Premier League. His stability is the reason why Arsenal has conceded only 23 goals. 

Defenders with most clean sheets 2023/24: 
◉ William Saliba (10) 
◉ James Tarkowski (8) 
◉ Virgil van Dijk (7) 
◉ Gabriel Magalhaes (7) 
◉ Jarrod Branthwaite (7) 

Jordan Pickford, Ederson, and David Raya are the goalkeepers with the most clean sheets (8), but Arsenal has changed goalkeepers during the season. Therefore, Saliba is actually the one with the most clean sheets of all, as he was also part of the team when Aaron Ramsdale was in goal for Arsenal at the beginning of the season. 

Saliba is only 22 years old, but he must be considered one of the best center-backs in Europe. He and Van Dijk are arguably the best in the Premier League, and looking at his personal stats this season, he has further developed as a player and a leader despite his young age.

William Saliba Premier League stats 2023/24: 
◉ 26 games
◉ 2 goals 
◉ 1 assist 
◉ 92.5% pass success 
◉ 152 duels 
◉ 58.7% duel success 
◉ 26 tackles 

Saliba and the rest of the Arsenal defense will be crucial in the remainder of the season, and with the tight title race, it is important to have a stable defense.
