On the latest episode of 888sport’s The Playlist, @RoryJenningsFootball, @AdeOladipo1 and Abbi Summers are joined by Robbie Lyle from @AFTVmedia and @drsportsmedia to rank the Top 5 centre-backs in the Premier League.

01:30 - Panel reveal their Top 5s
03:00 - Is Varane still world class?
04:50 - Is Romero too rash?
06:36 - Should we be worried about Van Dijk's form?
07:30 - Does Thiago Silva get the respect he deserves?
09:20 - Where should Dias be in the top 5?
11:20 - How good can Saliba be?
13:00 - Viewers, help us decide!

The panel debate whether Manchester City’s Ruben Dias has overtaken out-of-form Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk as the Premier League’s No. 1 centre-back and whether Chelsea’s Thiago Silva gets the respect he deserves for flourishing in England at the age of 38.

They also discuss how much William Saliba has improved Arsenal and whether the Frenchman has the potential to become a legendary Premier League centre-back like Sol Campbell, Tony Adams and Rio Ferdinand.

Also on the agenda is whether Raphael Varane has been lucky to escape the sort of criticism Harry Maguire has faced given Manchester United’s defensive struggles over the last 12 months, especially given the former Real Madrid man is a World Cup and four-time Champions League winner.

Will Varane make the Top 5, or will Spurs’ Cristian Romero get in ahead of him? Watch the video to find out.

The Playlist is 888sport’s weekly YouTube series, where Rory Jennings, Ade Oladipo and Abbi Summers, plus another influencer/celebrity guest, settle a big debate in football by making a definitive Top 5 list.
