3. Tammy Abraham vs Virgil van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk is probably the best defender in the world at the moment. He was one of the biggest reasons behind Liverpool's Champions League triumph as he was an absolute rock at the heart of the backline. His rise to the top has been nothing short of remarkable, and he has become one of the most authoritative figures in the Premier League.

At Chelsea, Tammy Abraham has been handed the No. 9 jersey as Frank Lampard has shown a lot of trust in him. Due to the transfer ban at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have decided to rely on their young brigade this season.

Now, Abraham is quite strong in the air and he is also a great dribbler of the ball. The most striking feature of his game is that he regularly contributes in the build-up play and links up well.

The battle between Abraham and Van Dijk will probably be like a tug of war. Both seem to be strong in the air, hence aerial battles could go either way. While Abraham is a great dribbler, Van Dijk is also known to be very difficult to dribble past.
