The top four clubs' best and worst players | Premier League 2019-20

Liverpool FC v Chelsea FC - Premier League

Manchester United

Moving on to the red side of Manchester now. It has been a pretty good Premier League season for Manchester United finishing in the Champions League positions with a fairly young squad and playing some exciting football.

As tempting as it is to go for the January signing Bruno Fernandes, who had a huge impact on results after his arrival, looking at the season as a whole it's between the number 9 and the number 10 who have had the greatest impact.

Despite Anthony Martial having a great end to the Premier League season, I've gone with Marcus Rashford who has had 25 goal contributions, one more than the Frenchman. Rashford has impressed on and off the pitch this season and seems to be improving day by day.

There have been a couple of players who have had below-average seasons with the club. But I'm going with Andreas Pereira. The Brazilian is playing his second full season at the club and has failed to impress despite featuring in 25 games this Premier League season. He's failed to nail down any position in midfield or the attack and, at 24 years of age, his time seems to be running out.

Chelsea

Now we move on to the London club, Chelsea. Frank Lampard's team managed to seal a Champion's League spot on the last day of the Premier League season and, like Man United, have had a pretty good season with their young exciting squad.

Their attack looks very exciting especially with Christian Pulisic coming to life at the end of the Premier League season. But I've gone for a player who has anchored their midfield this season and that player is Mateo Kovacic.

The 26-year-old has made 31 appearances for the Blues this season and has been the standout player in midfield, especially with Kante having long spells on the sidelines with injuries. His ball progression is second to none and he has been consistently good for the Blues.

For the worst player, I don't think there's too much of a debate to be had. After moving to Chelsea in August 2018 for a world record fee of €80 million (₹6.67bn) Kepa Arrizabalaga had a very mediocre first Premier League season.

But surprisingly, his second season has been even worse than the first one. He has a save percentage of 54.5%, by comparison, Allison, Ederson, and De Gea have a save percentage of 72.2%, 72.8% and 73.6% respectively. He has been one of the main reasons Chelsea have had the 8th worst defense in the Premier League this season.
