The Premier League this season has been
action-packed with the occasional kickback by the
pandemic. Still, we are halfway through the
season and some familiar faces can still be
spotted at the top of the table. The current
2021-22 campaign sees Manchester City, Liverpool,
and Chelsea at the forefront as they are neck to
neck this season. So far, we have witnessed some
frantic and relentless football on our screens.
The action has still remained top class like it
always does. Similar to last year, players have
not had free time on their hands while playing
for their clubs and representing the country as
well when called for action. One thing that
hasnt escaped everyone's notice is the
extraordinary performance by the Premier League
defenders during the campaign.

Englands top-flight competition is well known
for its competitiveness throughout Europe. The
players and everyone involved needs to be perfect
at all times with no margin for error whatsoever,
and it is this level of performance that gets
noticed the most in the leagues and even forces
the clubs to burn so much money. The most
appreciated form within the league for defenders
is their ability to stay on top of fitness and be
present for every minute of action on the field
and most importantly save goals. The discussion
would be incomplete without saying the names of
West Ham Uniteds Aaron Cresswell, Manchester
Uniteds Virgil Van Dijk, Arsenals Ben White,
Burnleys James Tarkowski, and Chelseas Thiago
Silva. But still the big names even after their
contribution this season still havent been able
to cross the top five defenders category.

Counting backwards in fifth place we have Reece
James, he made a name for himself in the 2020
campaign but this season he took the game to
another level and could even be considered as the
most improved player this season. Premier League
DataGareth Southgate may have had a lot of
options to choose from in terms of right-back but
James has cracked his way in the list at the age
of 22, the level of skills he possesses is
sensational. Being a regular part of Thomas
Tuchels squad, he has moved up the ladder and in
2021 he even scored four goals and even had five
assists next to his name in just Englands
top-flight tournament.
5
Last season James won his first-ever Champions
League as Blues won 10 against Premier League
Champions Manchester City in the 2021 UEFA
Champions League Final in Porto. Like a man
possessed he can control the ball and deliver
passes skillfully. When it comes to his defensive
side it is a task to take the ball pass him. He
might even be considered the best fullback in the
Premier League by some. Next in the list is
Liverpools Trent Alexander-Arnold, he is a
vicious attacking weapon Reds hold in their
arsenal this season he has been in red-hot form
in the 2021-22 Premier League campaign. He played
a pivot role in ending Liverpool's 30-year league
title drought by winning the 201920 Premier
League.
6
Recently he had to deal with a lot of criticism
for his form but still has been a crucial part of
Liverpools line up as they challenge Manchester
City for the Premier League title. In the second
half of the 2021 the 23-year-old has
significantly improved his skills and pulled off
some great tackles and saved many points for the
team while missing just two matches in the
year.Moving one rank up, next on the list is
Antonio Rudiger. Blues centre-back is one of the
best in the league, the 28-year-old secured a
total of 35 appearances in the competition. His
physicality alone has kept attackers at bay
adding his skills to the mix.
7
Other than that, the German has even netted
thrice in the season with two assists and his
quick counterattacks has helped Chelsea turn the
match around. Another well-known name in this
category is Manchester City's Joan Cancelo, who
was a key part of their title-winning campaign in
2021, and this season he has been in form as they
defend their title. His ability to play from both
left-back and right-back positions has been a
game-changer for the club and Pep Guardiola has
realised that and leveraged it from time to time
to improve their possession-based game.
8
There is a reason why Manchester City is at the
top of the table apart from world-class strikers,
City tops the table in terms of defenders as
well. Another key player in their squad is Ruben
Dias, who can rightly be called the best defender
in the English top-flight competition this year.
Dias' contribution to the club was outstanding as
with his help Cityzens reached their Champions
league maiden final and even earned the title of
the player of the season. With the Portuguese
player on their side City has become almost
impenetrable. His numbers speak for itself with
over 4000 passes attempted his accuracy is over
90, along with his precision, his tackles, and
the ability to overpower strikers in the penalty
area, bundled together make him into a
world-class player and a legacy in the
making. Catch the current season with Data
