The 2022-23 Premier League season has finally come to an end with Manchester City retaining the title despite a strong challenge from Arsenal.

Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton ended up being relegated while Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea all missed out on a top-four place. It has been quite a fascinating season with several teams punching above their weights while some big teams struggling.

Here, we will take a look at the three best right-backs in the Premier League this season.

Kieran Tripper - Newcastle United

Kieran Tripper has been phenomenal for Eddie Howe's Newcastle United this season as the Magpies secured a Champions League spot. The English full-back did a commendable job both defensively and offensively and almost regularly captained his side. Tripper scored one goal and provided 10 assists in 46 appearances last season and showcased his top-class ability with the ball.

Kyle Walker- Manchester City

Kyle Walker hardly lets his team down and has been one of the most underrated players behind a stunning season from Pep Guardiola's side. The England international featured both as a right-back as well as a right centre-back in Manchester City's three-at-the-back system in the latter stages of the season. Walker has just one assist to his name in 37 appearances across competitions but his contributions behind Manchester City's blistering cannot be overlooked.

Ben White - Arsenal

While Ben White was known as a centre-back until this season, the Englishman has been deployed at right-back by Mikel Arteta for most parts of the 2022-23 season. The 25-year-old did a commendable job not only defensively but also offensively playing a key role behind the Gunners' solid title charge. White has two goals and five assists to his name in 46 appearances across competitions this season.
