Pundits clash over whether Arsenal are top-4 material (1:33)

Mark Donaldson and Steve Nicol are arguing about whether or not the top four in the premier league are going to be made up of people from north London. There is a time and a place for it.

6:30 AM ET

In the 30 years that the league has existed, one member of the team has claimed top spot in an important stat.

Oleksandr has appeared 50 times or more in the premier league, the best win percentage of any player to have done so.

He has played a total of 78 games in the top flight and has emerged on the winning side in 65 of them, both with a new team and a previous one.

Many of his former City teammates are close behind, but the Ukrainian international left-back can now claim to have a better personal record than any other player.

5. Naby Keita (Liverpool)

I played 76 and won 59.

In the four years since his arrival from RB Leipzig, Keita has managed to accumulate an impressive win percentage, despite not being a mainstay for the Reds in the middle of the park.

During his first season in the top flight, he only made more than 16 starts in a single season, but his minutes during the Reds' long run of good form make him one of the top performers.

4. Phil Foden (Manchester City)

I played 99 and won 81.

Foden, a product of the City academy, has gone on to become an important part of the set-up at the Etihad.

Since making his senior top-flight debut for City as a teenager, he has won four premier league titles. It's unsurprising to know that Foden has been involved in a lot of victories.

3. Aymeric Laporte (Manchester City)

I played108 and won 88.

Laporte is the only player in the top five to have made over 100 appearances in the top flight and, thanks to his position at the heart of the City defence, he has amassed an impressive tally.

The Spanish international centre-back has scored eight goals in 88 appearances for the winning side in the English top flight.

2. Arjen Robben (Chelsea)

It was played 67 times and won 55.

In his three years at the club, he made just 67 league appearances. Injuries limited his involvement to a point, but he still scored 15 league goals and provided 10 assists for the Blues, who won two titles and four domestic cups before he left.

As the Blues continued their transformation from mid-table also-rans to big-spending premier league powerhouses, the winger became a key player.

1. Oleksandr Zinchenko (Manchester City, Arsenal)

I played 81 and won 65.

The victory over Bournemouth on Saturday not only extended the perfect start to the 2022-23 season but also saw the win percentage rankings go to the other way around.

The majority of the money came from Manchester City, where the 25-year-old full-back won nine major trophies before moving to the north London club.
