Premier League 2018/19: Ranking the 10 best full-backs so far

#6 Cesar Azpilicueta

Everton FC v Chelsea FC - Premier League

Cesar Azpilicueta played as a centre-back last season under Antonio Conte and the versatile Spaniard has been playing as a right-back under Maurizio Sarri this season, and he has done a very good job at that. The veteran Spaniard has gone from being one of the best centre-backs in the league last season to one of the best full-backs this season.

Azpilicueta has a great right foot and banging in crosses into the box is his strength, and unlike the modern full-backs who love to attack, the Spaniard loves a challenge or two and is a brilliant one on one defender. The Spaniard has been playing consistently well for Chelsea for the last couple of years and the Blues just can't afford to lose their captain.

The 29-year-old has won 59 per cent of his tackles and 60 per cent of his duels this season. He has given a total of 4 assists and has a crossing accuracy of 19 per cent.

#5 Kyle Walker

Fulham FC v Manchester City - Premier League

Walker has been playing consistently well for Manchester City since he signed for them and he has again been tremendous for the Sky Blues this season. He is one of the most trusted players of Pep Guardiola in this world-class City squad and that is a compliment in itself.

The Englishman is a hard working right-back, whose pace can cause problems for the opposing defence. He has got a great right foot and has scored some screamers this season. His clever movements and link-up play with Bernardo Silva have been great this season, but the Englishman needs to improve his crossing.

The 28-year-old has won 68 per cent of his tackles and 58 per cent of his duels this season. He has given 1 assist and has a crossing accuracy of 7 per cent.
