One of the most underrated players in the Premier League, Cesar Azpilicueta is an integral part of the Chelsea defence ever since he joined the Blues from Marseille in 2012.

He has made 209 Premier League appearances for the London-based club thus far, scoring five goals. The 29-year-old was the Chelsea's Players' Player of the Season 2013-2014 and helped the club win two Premier League titles, one FA Cup along with one Europa League trophy and one Football League Cup.

On the left flank, Marcos Alonso is a Spanish international, who joined the Blues in 2016 and has become an indispensable player since.

He was one of the star players in Chelsea's 2016/2017 title-winning season and also played a vital role in Chelsea's FA Cup triumph last season. The Spaniard not only gives them defensive steel but is offensively strong as well and scored 14 goals in 76 Premier League appearances for the Blues thus far.

The Madrid born defender was initially signed by Antonio Conte but he adjusted well under Maurizio Sarri as well and started in all of Chelsea's opening 12 league games.
