Arsenal's best Premier League XI: Henry, Vieira & top players of modern era

Premier League

Tottenham

Arsenal

Although Jens Lehmann was Arsenal’s goalkeeper for the 'Invincibles' season, David Seaman is still the easy choice for this one.
The England legend had already won the old Division One title with Arsenal before the Premier League was introduced in 1992 and he remained Arsenal No.1 right up until the 2003-04 season, when he left for Manchester City.

Seaman won the Premier League twice while in north London and made 325 Premier League appearances for the Gunners&nbsp;– only Ray Parlour made more.

GK: David Seaman

This was almost a flip of a coin between the two outstanding right-back candidates.
Lee Dixon won two Premier League titles while at Arsenal and racked up 305 Premier League appearances&nbsp;– far more than the 159 made by Lauren.

However, the Cameroon international also won the league twice and played a far bigger role in the 2001-02 title success than the Englishman.

Lauren was also a key part of the historic 'Invincibles' side that won the league in 2003-04 without losing a single game.

It’s on that basis that he just edges out Dixon for the right-back berth.

RB: Lauren

Mr. Arsenal! One of the first names on the team-sheet.
Arsenal have had some excellent centre-backs during the Premier League era, including the likes of Martin Keown, Steve Bould and Kolo Toure, but none have been as vital as Adams.

He made 255 appearances in the Premier League for the Gunners, adding two more league titles to the First Division championships he won in 1989 and 1991.

Before retiring in 2002, Adams helped Arsenal keep 115 clean sheets in the Premier League and scored 12 goals.

Arguably the club’s greatest ever captain, he has to take up his usual place in the heart of the defence.

CB: Tony Adams

Former Spurs star Campbell was a colossus for Arsenal after he crossed the north London divide in 2002.
The ideal replacement for Adams, who was coming to the end of his career, Campbell slotted seamlessly into the back four and helped Arsene Wenger’s side win both the Premier League and the FA Cup in his first season.

Campbell was then the bedrock of the defence for the 'Invincibles' campaign and formed an exceptional partnership with Kolo Toure.

In all, he made 146 appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal before leaving for Portsmouth in 2006.

CB: Sol Campbell

Nigel Winterburn certainly deserves a big mention when discussing the left-back spot in an all-time Premier League XI for Arsenal.
Winterburn made 270 Premier League appearances but Cole, who made 156, was arguably the best left-back of his generation.

Cole won two Premier League titles with the Gunners and must be considered one of the finest talents to ever come through the famed youth set-up at Arsenal.

The way he left for Chelsea still rankles with many supporters but the quality he brought to the left side of the back four, both in terms of defending an attacking, can’t be questioned.

LB: Ashley Cole

An inclusion that might raise a few eyebrows, but it shouldn’t.
Nobody has played more Premier League games for Arsenal than Parlour, who clocked up 333 appearances before eventually leaving for Middlesbrough&nbsp;in 2004.

He won three Premier League titles during his stay and was influential in all three successes.

Criminally underrated by those outside of Arsenal, Parlour provided the perfect balance in terms of drive and industry within sides that included so much foreign flair.

RM: Ray Parlour

From the moment Patrick Vieira came off the bench to make his debut against Sheffield Wednesday at Highbury in 1996, it was clear Arsenal had signed something special.
The Frenchman went on to win three Premier League titles while he was with the Gunners and was the captain of the 'Invincibles'.

A midfield colossus, Vieira provided protection to the back four while at the same time driving forward at every opportunity to link up with the attack.

One of the finest players ever to play for Arsenal, he made 279 Premier League appearances before leaving for Juventus in 2005.

CM: Patrick Vieira

There are a few top-quality candidates for the role of Vieira’s partner.
Emmanuel Petit was exceptional alongside his fellow Frenchman during the 1997-98 double-winning campaign.

Cesc Fabregas was a revelation during his time in north London, while another Spaniard, the mercurial Santi Cazorla, also merits a mention

However, Gilberto Silva slotted into Wenger’s side superbly following his 2002 World Cup triumph with Brazil and went on to stay for six years before leaving for Panathinaikos.

A crucial part of the 'Invincibles' side, the man who became known as the ‘Invisible wall’ simply has to get the nod in midfield.

CM: Gilberto Silva

After initially struggling to settle into life in the Premier League, Robert Pires went on to become one of the finest foreign players ever to grace the English game.
He won two titles during his stay in north London and made 189 appearances, scoring 62 goals and contributing 41 assists.

Pires, Cole and Thierry Henry formed a formidable trio down Arsenal's left-hand side, with Pires’ best season coming in 2001-02, when Arsenal won the title.

Despite suffering a season-ending knee injury in March, he was still named as the Football Writers' Player of the Year and when lifting the Premier League trophy after the final game of the season, the entire Arsenal squad got on their knees and bowed down in admiration for their injured team-mate.

LM: Robert Pires

Nobody has ever better described Dennis Bergkamp's influence on Arsenal than Ian Wright.
“He was the best signing the club ever made,” the striking legend enthused. “He changed the DNA of the club."

Bergkamp arrived at Arsenal from Inter in 1995 and stayed for 11 years. He won three Premier League titles and was named the league’s best player in 1998. He scored 87 goals in 315 appearances and chipped in with 94 assists.

The Dutchman retired at Arsenal and is deservedly now cast in bronze outside Emirates Stadium in the form of a statue.

FW: Dennis Bergkamp

Arsenal’s all-time record goalscorer.
Few could have imagined what Thierry Henry would go on to achieve when Arsene Wenger brought him to north London after a disappointing spell with Juventus.

But having been converted to a centre-forward by Wenger, Henry turned into arguably the greatest player the Premier League has ever seen.

He scored 175 league goals in 258 games, while also providing 74 assists. Henry won two league titles, four Golden Boots and was named Premier league player of the season twice.

A living legend.

FW: Thierry Henry

Lehmann is the reserve goalkeeper&nbsp;– a role which would no doubt infuriate the outspoken German&nbsp;– with Keown, who made 323 appearances for Arsenal and won three Premier League titles, providing the central defensive option should either Adams or Campbell pick up an injury.
Wright really should walk into the side but he has Bergkamp and Henry ahead of him, so has to make do with a seat on the bench.

Freddie Ljungberg, who almost won the 2002 title on his own with his goals during the run-in, was magnificent during his nine-year stay at the club.

Fabregas may not have won any silverware while he was at Arsenal, but the Spaniard was magnificent during his time in north London, as was his compatriot Cazorla.

There are plenty of other players who could have made the bench, such as Alexis Sanchez, Robin van Persie, but the electric Marc Overmars takes the final spot thanks to his breath-taking displays during his stay in the late 90s.
