DC: Laurent Koscielny
One of the best defenders in Europe on his day, Laurent Koscielny is wanted by Real Madrid but Arsenal must make sure they keep him at the Emirates Stadium.
DC: Per Mertesacker
Perhaps with one season left in him as first choice for Arsenal, Per Mertesacker continues alongside Koscielny in defence, rotating with Gabriel.
MC: Francis Coquelin
A highly promising young midfielder, Francis Coquelin should resume his defensive role next season after such a fine second half of the 2014/15 campaign.
MC: Morgan Schneiderlin
Signed from Southampton in a £24m deal, Morgan Schneiderlin is expected to complete a move to Arsenal and will surely line up alongside Coquelin in a strong-looking defensive midfield duo.
