Manchester United v Crystal Palace - Premier League

#2 – Gary Cahill

Chelsea v Derby County - Carabao Cup Fourth Round

Gary Cahill's time at Chelsea is up. Maurizio Sarri made it clear from the start but the Englishman was determined to fight for his place. 6 months on, he has lost the battle and is preparing for an exit.

His contract is up in the summer and The Blues are looking to loan him out this month to give him respect and not 'sell' him because of the things he has done for the club. He is likely to stay in the Premier League with West Ham United and Fulham linked while a move to Crystal Palace has also been rumoured.

Cahill is currently rated at 81 in FIFA 19 and with his 'no-show' on the pitch in the last 4 months, he is likely to get a -2 in his ratings. This might be the last time the former Bolton man is rated above 80 and given his age, he is unlikely to get back to that rating.
