Arsenal’s Koscielny 15th, Chelsea’s Hazard 3rd: Premier League’s top 20 best players

12) John Terry – Chelsea

Chelsea have the best defensive record in the top flight by some distance, and largely have the heroic defending of their captain to thank.

11) Gary Cahill – Chelsea

Terry’s central defensive partner Cahill has been just as good, but probably made a few less crucial mistakes. If Chelsea win the title, it won’t be because of their attack, but their mostly impenetrable defence.
