Central Midfield: Moises Caicedo (Ecuador)

Moises Caicedo registered more successful ball recoveries (6) and more successful interceptions (3) than any other player for either Chelsea or Brighton. He came close to being shown a second yellow but managed to survive the game and win Chelsea the three points.

Central Midfield: Enzo Fernandez (Argentina)

A moment of silence for the haters who ridiculed the world class midfielder’s contribution to the side so far. He thrived under pressure and bagged a brace to win the game for Chelsea. He was also crowned MOTM at the end of the match. When compared to other midfielders in the league; Enzo Fernandez ranks first in through passes played and second when it comes to forward passes, long passes and passes into the final third.

Central Attacking Midfield: Cole Palmer (England)

Palmer was dropped from the starting XI as a precautionary measure and he went on to play 30 minutes after coming on in the second half; which means that he will be one of the first names on the team sheet. His ability to find players from tight spaces is exactly what our pacy attackers need against Manchester United’s slow-moving defence.
