Shoot’s Chelsea vs Man City Combined XI

CENTRAL MIDFIELD: N’GOLO KANTE (CHELSEA)

Signed for £32million in the summer of 2016, that price now looks like a snip as the Frenchman has blossomed into one of the world’s best defensive midfielders.

In more of an attacking role this season under Sarri, many have argued that the World Cup winner’s strengths lie in front of the back-four with his ability to do the simple things well helping his country to victory in Russia.

Manchester City’s Fernandinho has every right to feel hard done by that he is not in our XI, and he probably would be if his counterpart was anyone other than the ex-Leicester City star.
