Centre-backs
Staying: Gary Cahill, John Terry, Kurt Zouma, Tomas Kalas.
Going: David Luiz, Nathaniel Chalobah, Sam Hutchinson, Nathan Ake.
Coming in: Fabian Schar (Inside Futbol).
Defence has been a big bonus for the team this term and the successful partnership of Cahill and Terry at the back has been a real positive.
Therefore the captain is likely to have his deal – which expires in the summer – extended and the duo will continue as the preferred combination at the back.
They will be strongly tested by new £12.5m signing Zouma and Czech Republic international Kalas however, whilst the signing of Schar will help bolster that.
With Barcelona having had their transfer ban lifted the Catalans are likely to reignite their pursuit of Luiz, whilst expect loan departures aplenty once again.
