#3 N'Golo Kante’s poor 2017-18

Manchester United v Chelsea - Premier League
Kante is not at his usual best this season

The two time Premier League champion with Leicester City and Chelsea is having a poor 2017-18 campaign. He was the best midfielder in Premier League for the last 2 seasons but certainly not in 2017-18. He looks tired and definitely isn't playing his best football at the moment.

With only 50 interceptions in the Premier League this season, Kante is not in the top 10 for interceptions. He has made 86 tackles in the Premier League, compared to 120 by Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi. He is also poor in the air, winning only 14 aerial battles.

The stats clearly show N'Golo Kante's waning influence in the Chelsea midfield at the moment. Also, the Blues midfielder fainted in Chelsea's training session last week and may not be 100% fit for the clash against FC Barcelona next week.
