DC: John Terry
Despite being subbed off against Manchester City last week, John Terry should remain first choice at centre-back for Chelsea.
DC: John Stones
Coming in to partner Terry and to eventually replace him, Everton youngster John Stones is a £40m target who is looking ever more likely to join.
MC: Nemanja Matic
One of the best defensive midfielders in the world, Nemanja Matic keeps his place in the centre after some superb form last season.
MC: Paul Pogba
Coming in alongside Matic is £69m midfielder Paul Pogba, who looks to be on the verge of a move to Stamford Bridge after the club agreed a fee with Juventus.
