Chelsea - Cesar Azpilicueta
Versatile, solid, clever, and industrious. Azpilicueta embodies all these qualities and has been a regular in a tight Chelsea backline over the years.
His versatility has enabled him to nail down left-back, right-back, and centre-back places when needed. Jose Mourinho preferred the right-footed Spaniard as a left-back over specialist Filipe Luis and 'Azpi' delivered.
A total team player, Azpilicueta doesn't grab the headlines much but does his job quietly and efficiently. His awareness, pace, stamina and diligence make him a tremendous defender and a manager's dream.
Crystal Palace - Ruben Loftus-Cheek
It wasn't long ago that Ruben Loftus-Cheek was an inconsistent performer. The scenario has changed now and he one of the most key elements of Roy Hodgson's side.
An attacking midfielder, the Chelsea loanee is most comfortable in the 'hole' behind the striker. His physicality and pace enable him to brush off defenders.
He has impressed at Palace already, and some maturity can develop him into a fine player. He is certainly a future England prospect.
