Top 5 players to have played every single minute in the Premier League this season

#1 Cesar Azpilicueta

Cesar Azpilicueta

Chelsea's 'Mr. Reliable', Cesar Azpilicueta is without a doubt one of the best players in the Premier League. Originally a right-back, 'Dave' as he is fondly referred to by the Chelsea faithful is has been employed at everywhere across the back line, all with equal success. A leader on the field and a wonderful reader of play, the Spaniard has been a mainstay amidst all the change at Chelsea and has put in some absolute world class showings in a Chelsea jersey.

The meagre £7m Chelsea spent to acquire Azpilicueta looks like an absolute steal of a deal considering the rates in the current market for versatile players in the mould of Azpilicueta. A manager's dream player, the fact that he has played every minute of every game Antonio Conte has managed Chelsea in the Premier League, shows how important Azpilicueta is to any system of play.

This season, his telepathic understanding with Spanish teammate Alvaro Morata has been absolutely delightful, with Azpilicueta providing the assist's for 5 of Morata's 8 goals in the Premier League already.

Azpilicueta's ability to slot into any role demanded of him with supreme confidence and his ability to perform well in even the most adverse situations makes him the author's pick for the no.1 spot on this list.
