Who is Chelsea’s best centre-back?
Chelsea’s defence has had its problems of late but manager Roberto Di Matteo is not short of options, with four quality centre-backs vying for two places in the Blues side.
John Terry will soon return from suspension and will perhaps have a point to prove, with some pundits suggesting he is well past his best and may no longer be a first-choice defender.
Gary Cahill seems to grow in stature with each game, producing assured performances both against European opposition and during the cut and thrust of Premier League football.
Branislav Ivanovic of course operates at right-back much of the time, but his outstanding performances when moved to central defence suggest that remains his best position. Physically strong with excellent positional sense, the Serbian is a great option to have.
David Luiz will probably always have his doubters and like many centre-backs in his mould, mistakes creep in and attention focuses on his shortcomings. But he remains a class act and, the odd setback aside, continues to look more at home in the Premier League.
So which of the four do you believe is Chelsea’s best centre-back?
