Chelsea transfer gossip
GK: David de Gea (Manchester United)
Just edging Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this season, Manchester United star David de Gea gets the nod in goal in this XI.
DR: Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea)
A top class performer for Chelsea for many years, Branislacv Ivanovic is comfortably in ahead of Antonio Valencia at right-back.
DL: Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea)
A terrific left-back in fine form, Cesar Azpilicueta looks a better bet than either Daley Blind or Luke Shaw in that role.
DC: John Terry (Chelsea)
Still one of the best in the country, John Terry has had a superb season for Chelsea this term and is an easy choice for this team.
DC: Gary Cahill (Chelsea)
Another rock-solid Blues defender this season, Gary Cahill certainly gets in ahead of United’s inconsistent centre-backs.
MC: Nemanja Matic (Chelsea)
An excellent defensive midfielder proving crucial for Jose Mourinho’s side this season, Nemanja Matic is in ahead of Michael Carrick.
MC: Ander Herrera (Manchester United)
One of the more in-form midfielders in the Premier League right now, Ander Herrera has been superb in his first season for Manchester United.
MC: Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea)
A great summer signing by Chelsea, Cesc Fabregas has been a creative midfield genius for the Blues this term and has to make this lineup.
AMR: Juan Mata (Manchester United)
Formerly of Chelsea, Juan Mata has been much improved for United this season and gets in ahead of some of his former Blues team-mates.
AML: Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
A favourite for Player of the Year, Eden Hazard is definitely one of the best players in Europe right now and someone who could make an impact this season.
FC: Diego Costa (Chelsea)
Joint-top scorer in the Premier League so far, Diego Costa is a world class striker of the calibre that United could do with to partner Wayne Rooney.
