Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has identified the top four full-backs currently playing in the Premier League.
He stated that all four players are from Arsenal, with Netherlands international Jurrien Timber being the standout performer.
Thanks to Timber's contributions, Arsenal is at the top of the Premier League table, five points ahead of second-placed Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta deployed Ben White on the right side of defense against Brentford, where the Englishman performed impressively, while Riccardo Calafiori proved to be solid on the left.
Youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly has seen limited appearances this season due to Calafiori's strong performances.
Hargreaves, a former Bayern Munich player, believes that Arsenal's physicality distinguishes them from their title contenders.
“I think they’ve been looking comfortable all season,” Hargreaves told Premier League Productions.
“They have a variety of options.
“They likely have the four best full-backs in the country, all playing for one team, along with probably the best goalkeeper as well.
“Then there's Declan, [Martin] Zubimendi has been outstanding, Odegaard, [Eberechi] Eze, and the list goes on.
“Timber is, in my opinion, the best full-back in the Premier League this season, and I’m confident he can perform well. He’s incredibly strong, and of course, Ben White can also play in that position.”
Arsenal's next Premier League match is against Aston Villa this weekend.
