The top ten central defender combinations in the Premier League that concede the fewest goals per game, Carragher has been on the list more times than Van Dijk

In the field of dominant defense, there are only a handful of defensive partners in the history of the Premier League who can frighten opponents. These centre-back combinations defined the golden age of defensive art. The following is a list of the ten legendary partners who conceded the least goals per game in Premier League history.

1️⃣ Ferdinand& Vidic - Manchester United (0.71 goals/120 games)

There is no suspense at the top of the list. This legendary pair of Manchester United leads the way with an astonishing record of conceding only 0.71 goals per game. Together, they formed the steel backbone of the most dominant team in the Ferguson era.

2️⃣ Adams& Keown - Arsenal (0.73 goals/79 games)

Followed by Arsenal's classic combination. Tough, disciplined and fearless, they perfectly epitomized the Gunners' suffocating defensive system in the early days of Wenger's era.

3️⃣ Campbell& Kolo Toure - Arsenal (0.73 goals/59 games)

This pairing may be surprising, but fans who have witnessed the unbeaten season will understand. The Gunners' undefeated success throughout the 2003/04 season was built on the perfect fusion of experience and athletic ability between the two.

4️⃣ Terry& Carvalho - Chelsea (0.76 goals/85 games)

The Blues defense under Mourinho is impregnable, and the special card combination is the core. Their tacit understanding and leadership qualities have created the most desperate ironclad wall in the history of the Premier League.

5️⃣ Kompany& Lescott - Manchester City (0.76 goals/58 games)

This pair has witnessed the rise of the Blue Moon Army. Kompany's leadership and Lescott's stability helped the team win the first Premier League trophy in team history in 2012, laying the foundation for subsequent glory.

6️⃣ Saliba& Gabriel - Arsenal (0.78 goals/93 games)

This modern Gunners duo has become a legend. The defensive system they have built in recent years is the best in the Premier League. If they can maintain their current form, they will continue to rise in the rankings.

7️⃣ Van Dijk& Matip - Liverpool (0.81 goals/72 games)

The arrival of Van Dijk completely changed the Red Army's defense. He and the steady Matip escorted the team to win the Champions League and Premier League crowns. Calm, calm and powerful, this is a partnership based on absolute trust.

8️⃣ Carragher& Agger - Liverpool (0.84 goals/55 games)

This Red Army partnership formed between 2006-2013 is highly respected. They perfectly combine defensive hardness with calmness on the ball, and Agger is regarded as Carragher's natural successor in the Anfield defense.

9️⃣ Alderweireld& Vertonghen - Tottenham (0.88 goals/93 games)

This Belgian pair has supported Lilywhites' most competitive defense in the Pochettino era. Accurate positioning judgment and excellent chemical reaction made them one of the most reliable central defender partnerships in the 2010s.

Carragher& Hyypia - Liverpool (0.96 goals/54 games)

Carragher is on the list again - this time alongside him is Finnish defender Hyypia. They built one of the strongest defenses in the history of the Red Army, jointly won many honors such as the 2005 League Cup, and both went down in Anfield history.
