Right Wing: Cole Palmer (England)

Chelsea have hit the jackpot with the young England International – Cole Palmer who has been on a roll. He did struggle a bit in the last game but will buckle down and do his thing as Christopher Nkunku’s return could help him stack a heap of assists.

Left Wing: Raheem Sterling (England)

Our attackers enjoyed their football last month; scoring multiple goals which is pretty unusual. Sterling tops the lot. The world class winger’s trickery and approach in the final third was phenomenal. He looks much more threatening and was the only Chelsea player to put on a top display in the last game scoring a beautiful free-kick. He will definitely want to build on these performances.

Striker: Nicolas Jackson (Senegal)

Jackson is finally getting on the scoresheet but his decision making and positioning is simply poor. Nkunku’s return will affect his play time for sure and it’s going to take blood sweat and tears to keep his spot in the playing XI. Signing a striker is going to be Chelsea’s priority this January unless Nkunku can hang in there and fill in that role until the end of the season.
