No doubt Mosquera can fill in admirably at CB. The real question is whose turn is it to thump in a corner? I’d say Saliba. He’s manically celebrated everyone else’s goals this season; time he gets one himself.

A few graphs I've come across over the last couple of days.

Regarding teams defending deep vs Arsenal.   These lines up with what my eyes had been telling me.

Which leads to Arsenal's defense.

We all know how incredible the defense's ability is at not allowing SoG; a part of that is a byproduct of the 2 graphs above.    Teams are playing 10/11 behind the ball, which obviously leads to fewer offensive actions.

Take away the volume of shots allowed, and just look at the xG on the shots taken... and Arsenal are the best at that as well.

Of note, Arsenal have faced the top 4 xG teams in their 9 matches played thus far.
