Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher name Arsenal stars as hardest players to defend against

Gary Neville has crowned former Arsenal star Marc Overmars as the toughest player he faced in the Premier League, with Jamie Carragher selecting Thierry Henry.

The Premier League celebrated 30 years since its formation over the weekend, with Neville playing in the first 19 seasons of it for Manchester United. Carragher meanwhile spent 17 years in the top-flight with Liverpool, playing across the defence and eventually settling at centre-back.
