5 players who have kept Chelsea in the title race over the festive period

3. John Terry

John Terry has played 90 minutes of every league game this season for Chelsea, including over the festive period, where he accumulated a Performance Score of 95.

Over those four games, Terry actually exceeded his season-long average of defensive actions, making 9.5 per game on average—peaking at 12 against Southampton. He also won 67% of his duels against both Arsenal and Swansea, significantly aiding in the two clean sheets attained in those matches.

His one negative was a defensive error against Southampton which led to a shot on goal—but the clean sheet was ably preserved by the man who finished one place above him.
