Centre defensive midfield : N'golo Kante
The new signing has settled well in London and has become one of the first players on the team sheet under Antonio Conte. Undoubtedly, Kante is the best defensive midfielder in the league and has already 11 interceptions in his five games at Chelsea.
Centre midfield : Santi Cazorla
Cazorla is one of the most highly rated players in the league with his nimble feet and is productive with his output, having the ability to play anywhere on the field. He has played well in a new midfield role this season and has already racked up two goals this campaign. The Spaniard has also created seven chances this season and keeps out Cesc Fabregas from the team who has come back into the reckoning after his double over Leicester City.
Centre midfield : Granit Xhaka
Xhaka made his first start in Arsenal's last league game against Hull and scored a thunderbolt of a goal as followed it with yet another long ranger against Nottingham Forest in the League Cup. Wenger sees his new signing as a box to box midfielder and will find it tough to keep him out of the side in this kind of form.
