Chris Smalling vs Martin Skrtel
Two decent defenders who could be improved upon, there is little between Chris Smalling and Martin Skrtel, with the England defender’s rise at the end of last season perhaps giving him the edge.
Vote: Smalling
Marcos Rojo vs Mamadou Sakho
Another pair of centre-backs who are not quite fulfilling their potential at the moment, Marcos Rojo had an inconsistent first year and Mamadou Sakho arguably looks more accomplished at the moment.
Vote: Sakho
