Ross Barkley has been a revelation this season, having netted 3 goals and 4 assists already this season. He wasn't a regular at the start of the season but gradually won his place in the side after giving consistent performances. He was paired with the on-loan Mateo Kovacic but proved to be more dangerous.

Barkley signed from Everton last January and played a minimal part in Antonio Conte's reign. This season, however, he has been fantastic and given the Stamford Bridge faithful a new hero to sing songs about.

He is very strong at giving through balls and fits perfectly under Sarri's system of playing short passes. Barkley's long balls and finishing under pressure have been impressive too.
