Defence

7. <p>Another satisfyingly reassured performance from the Serbian. It’s getting to the point where Ivanovic offers more of a threat on the right than Willian.</p> <p>Key Stat: 77 touches, fifth most on Chelsea’s team.</p>. RB. Serbia. BRANISLAV IVANOVIC

6.5. <p>Along with John Terry, Cahill dominated Sam Vokes and Andre Gray. Severely lacking in the passing department, sensibly he prefers to lay it off to one of the other back four to do the work.</p> <p>Key Stat: Completed 3 of 5 long balls played.</p>. CB. England. GARY CAHILL

CB. England. JOHN TERRY. 6.5. <p>Worryingly for any fans praying for a defensive signing, the two English centre-backs have started the season well. Terry has a fantastic range of passing and could easily be used in the middle of a back three.</p> <p>Key Stat: Attempted 65 passes, fourth most on the team, with an accuracy of 90.8%.</p>

7. <p>Becoming more prominent overlapping Eden Hazard on the left. Yet again he appeared composed in defence. His stamina never fails to amaze me, at one point in the second half he made a foul in the attacking right-wing position.</p> <p>Key Stat: Had the most attempted passes on both teams, with 73.</p>. LB. Spain. CESAR AZPILICUETA
