Chelsea's new signing took few matches to get used to the life in London but now is showing how decisive his contribution was for Leicester last season by producing splendid performances consistently. Though he has not opened his account for the Blues, Kante has a passing accuracy of 90 percent and will be up against Paul Pogba tomorrow with the compatriots going face to face for the first time.

Centre midfield : Ander Herrera

The Spaniard has proved his worth under Jose Mourinho as a man of the match display against Liverpool will help him in the long run. The 27-year-old has played regularly under the new manager and Mourinho’s decision has been proved right by Herrera as he made 11 interceptions on Monday which was a season best feat along with seven tackles and five dribbles. He was one of the best players of the past game week surpassed only by Everton's Martin Stekelenburg.

Centre midfield : Paul Pogba

Though the world's most expensive player has been criticised a lot, he has been United's best midfielder as he leads the way with the number of passes and dribbles per game. A brace in the Europa League on Thursday would help his confidence with Pogba looking to inflict some damage on his former manager.
