Defending can be an art that is often underrated by the general football fan.
However, it is becoming more and more important as the years go on with the quality of attackers getting better season on season, especially in the Premier League.
Newcastle and Manchester City boast the best defensive records in the top flight this season, having conceded 32 times from their 37 matches to date. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the spectrum, Leeds possess the leakiest back-line, with a whopping 74 goals conceded.
