2) Branislav Ivanovic – Chelsea
The Serbian defender is as effective in his own box as he is in the attacking third. He scored a crucial goal in the Capital One Cup semi-final against Liverpool and has also weighed in with five goals and five assists in the league as the Blues were crowned champions.
1) John Terry – Chelsea
No surprise to see the Blues captain named as the best defender in the Premier League. Terry played in every single minute of the campaign despite turning 34 during the season.
The former England defender was simply a rock at the heart of the Blues defence and deserves his place at the number one spot.
