CB – Gary Cahill, Chelsea
One of the key things that Mourinho has instilled back at Stamford Bridge since his return as manager is defensive solidity at the back and the central partnership of Cahill and captain John Terry has been key to that.
Whilst some think the latter may have been superior this term, it’s the 28-year-old that is going to be there for the foreseeable future and now looks comfortable on the top European and international stages as well.
