DC: John Terry
Still one of the best defenders in the world, John Terry played every single minute of last season’s Premier League title-winning campaign and should be a regular again.
DC: John Stones
A terrific youngster valued at around £34m, John Stones has become one of the Blues’ priority targets from Everton and could challenge Gary Cahill for a place in the centre.
MC: Nemanja Matic
One of the best midfielders in the Premier League, Nemanja Matic has been superb since joining Chelsea and will surely continue as first choice.
MC: Cesc Fabregas
Forming a fine partnership with Matic, Cesc Fabregas is set for a key role at Stamford Bridge again next season.
