Shoot!’s Arsenal-Liverpool combined XI

Centre-back: Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal)

It is an all Arsenal centre-half pairing, starting with Frenchman Laurent Koscielny.

The 32-year-old was the first pick of the bunch when it came to selecting Shoot!‘s central defenders, having started 15 of Arsenal’s last 16 Premier League fixtures.

Blessed with strength, aerial threat, a crunching tackle, masterful interception and pace, Koscielny is the sort of player Liverpool would love to have in their ranks.
