#3 N’Golo Kante
The thing is, N’Golo Kante has won the Premier League two times in a row – and he was the centre of the team on both occasions. With Leicester City, he was the fulcrum of Ranieri’s team that focused on counter-attacking while defending with a low-block.
And for Chelsea, he became the midfield general – the guardian of the defence – in Conte’s three-man defence. It is of no coincidence that his best form had a direct proportion with his team winning the Premier League trophy.
With 8 points behind City and having played one game extra, it will be very difficult for the Blues to get ahead of the Etihad outfit by the end of the season. However, if Kante, who hasn’t been as good as he was in the last two seasons, picks up his optimal form and keeps it up for the rest of the season, Chelsea could yet win the title again.
