Defensive midfield: N'Golo Kanté
There is more than one way to play this role. Last week's Champions League match between Chelsea and Barcelona showed this, as Kanté and Sergio Busquets both put in fantastic displays, showcasing their contrasting but equally brilliant styles. In this tea, Kanté would screen the back four, putting out fires, allowing the other central midfielders to create.
Right-central midfield: Cesc Fàbregas
He lacks dynamism, which is to be expected of a someone who has played consistently in central midfield since the age of 16, but as one of three midfielders, with Kanté behind him, he would not be burdened with too much defensive responsibility. He is one of the best passers in the league and his creativity would serve the front three well, in this side.
Left-central midfield: Paul Pogba
Yes, he's in. Of course he's in. It would be ridiculous if he wasn't in. He has found himself in the middle of a José Mourinho mind game recently, which hints at the possibility of another name added to the list of flair players Mourinho wasted who went on to do incredible things elsewhere. The left of a midfield three is definitely the best position for Pogba; it's where he played best for Juventus and when given the chance, for United.
Right-wing: Alexis Sánchez
He hasn't played on the right for a while, but for the purposes of getting the most out of other players, he must take one for the team here and move back to the side where he played for Udinese and Barcelona. Willian deserves a mention here after his man of the match performance against Barcelona on Tuesday night, but I simply can't leave Sánchez out of this attack.
Left-wing: Eden Hazard
Probably the best dribbler in the league and one of the most pleasing players to watch, Hazard is one of the easiest choices to make when picking this side. An honourable mention must go out to Anthony Martial, who has been shackled recently by Mourinho moving him to the right, but has shown how dangerous he can be cutting in from the left. But sadly, he has to miss out.
Striker: Álvaro Morata
The Spaniard ha suffered lately after a great start to his first Premier League season. He is a sensitive character, and a player who depends greatly on confidence to perform well. But when he is feeling confident and getting service, he is an excellent number 9. He's deceptively quick for a man of his size and links up with his supporting forwards well. Sorry, Romelu.Mykhailo Mudryk given maximum punishment for anti-doping offence
He has learnt his shocking fate Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has discovered his punishment after being charged by the Football Association over anti-doping offences, as reported first by the journalist Ben Jacobs. The Ukrainian forward last played for the Blues in 2024, just a year after he had joined the London club from Shakhtar Donetsk in […]

Irish pundit has bizarrely contrarian take after PSG v Bayern classic
Not sure about this one…. Before the whistle for the end of the first half between PSG and Bayern Munich last night, the game was already being regarded as one of the greatest in the history of European football. It was end-to-end stuff, with a massive amount of high-quality attacking play; eventually finishing 5-4 to […]
