Central Midfield: Moises Caicedo (Ecuador)

Caicedo will return to the playing XI after missing the game against the Magpies. He hasn’t reached his full potential yet but his absence was strongly felt. The defence and moreover the midfield needs him as he gives them the license to push up the field and take more risks.

Enzo Fernandez is another player who is being trolled heavily by the Premier League fans all over the world. But the Chels’ faithful know how crucial he’s been and will only get better with time. The stat below alone tells you that the Argentine is elite.
