"Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are in the same category as Gabriel and William Saliba. Everyone talks about the best Premier League centre-back pairing being Gabriel and Saliba. You can also make a case for Liverpool's defensive partnership: Virgil van Dijk is still a fantastic player, although there are still question marks around Ibrahima Konate. But I would place Van de Ven and Romero in the same bracket as those two pairings."
"The Gunners' defensive record stands alone this season with the 3-0 win at Slavia Prague last night Arsenal's eighth consecutive match without conceding a goal - equalling a 122-year club record. Not long after Arsenal's game in the Czech Republic finished, Spurs kicked off against FC Copenhagen and went on to win 4-0 in a game that will be remembered for a wonderful solo goal from Van de Ven."
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are placed alongside Gabriel and William Saliba as one of the Premier League's top centre-back pairings. Arsenal recorded an eighth consecutive clean sheet with a 3-0 win at Slavia Prague, equalling a 122-year club record. Tottenham beat FC Copenhagen 4-0, highlighted by Van de Ven's 80-yard solo run and composed finish. The two Spurs centre-backs complement each other defensively, covering when one is beaten. Sustained fitness for both defenders is essential after recent injury problems that previously hindered team progress.
