Patrick Vieira names 5 Arsenal players who could make Invincibles team
Former Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira revealed five current Gunners stars he believes would earn a spot in the club's legendary Invincible team from the 2003/04 campaign. In an interview with Sky Sports, Vieira made specific position comparisons between the unbeaten Invincibles and today's squad.
The Invincibles famously completed the entire Premier League season without defeat, winning 26 matches, drawing 12, and accumulating 90 points under Arsene Wenger. Vieira's selections include David Raya in goal over Jens Lehmann, Jurrien Timber at right-back, Gabriel replacing Kolo Toure in central defense (keeping Sol Campbell), Bukayo Saka ahead of Freddie Ljungberg on the right wing, and Declan Rice for Gilberto Silva (while keeping Robert Pires on left wing and Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp up front).
This comparison connects Arsenal's current squad to the club's most successful era, giving fans perspective on how current players stack against legends. The selections highlight Vieira's assessment of which current players have the qualities to perform at the highest level during that historic season.
