Shoot!’s ultimate Chelsea-Manchester City five-a-side team

Cesar Azpilicueta

Chelsea are significantly better at the back than Manchester City, it’s just about deciding which defender to include in this team.

Gary Cahill and David Luiz have been excellent, but once again Cesar Azpilicueta has proven to be one of the best defenders in the division this term, even in a slightly unfamiliar role of centre-back.

The Spanish international has made his name in English football as a full-back, winning the Blues’ Players’ Player of the Year award in 2014, but the way he has seamlessly adapted the right-sided role in Conte’s back three says everything you need to know about the 27-year-old as a defender.

His energy, enthusiasm, and overall defensive ability gives him the nod in this side, with his work-rate and desire to get up and down the field perfect for a five-a-side team.
