The Premier League will have 19 representatives at the tournament and here are five of the best.

Nabil Bentaleb – Tottenham Hotspur and Algeria

The Algerians gave a good account of themselves at the 2014 World Cup and this young midfielder has been impressing for club and country, keeping the likes of Mousa Dembele and Paulinho out of the starting XI at White Hart Lane.

Yannick Bolasie – Crystal Palace and DR Congo

This tricky winger has given Liverpool a headache already this season during a 3-1 win over the Reds at Selhurst Park and although currently with Palace, Bolasie is being linked with a move away in the near future.

Wilfried Bony – Manchester City and Ivory Coast

Has just joined the expensive elite at the Etihad Stadium after an impressive 18 months with Swansea City and this will be the first chance for City fans to see the striker since he joined their team.

Kolo Toure – Liverpool and Ivory Coast

People still snigger when it’s suggested Toure is a top-class defender, but see his performance against Real Madrid earlier this season and they may think otherwise and the 33-year-old is a very experienced head.

Yaya Toure – Manchester City and Ivory Coast

Brother of Kolo and considered by many to be among the best African players of all time, since joining the Citizens in 2010 the midfielder has helped them to two league titles and FA Cup and League Cup triumphs.
