En
Which midfield trio carries the magic?

#1 Jorginho, Ngolo Kante, Ross Barkley - Chelsea

Enter captio

Although the last match against Newcastle saw a minute change, with Mateo Kovacic starting for the blues, Ross Barkley did show up as a substitute and delivered a spectacular performance. Something not most of the Chelsea supporters expected him to do. The 24-year old, what many say, is the sole replacement of Cesc Fabregas, who lies on the Chelsea bench undisturbed.

However, in the fixtures against Arsenal and Huddersfield, the midfielder showed a different character. An aggressive, constructive and cheerful approach, as he combined with two of the best midfielders of the league. Jorginho, and Kante. The former Napoli star and the world cup winner, along with Barkley are easily considered to be the best midfield trio of the current Premier League season.

With Jorginho relieving Kante off his defensive midfielder duties and allowing the Frenchmen to play more attacking football, to Ross Barkley being the hard-working, playmaking attacking third with Eden Hazard, the 'three blues' have left their impact on the supporters as well as the managers. Making Eden Hazard the playmaker up front and allowing Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta to become the aggressors, Barkley, Kante, and Jorginho is the powerhouse of this aggressive Chelsea lineup. They could also make the blues the contenders for the Premier League title.
