Christensen in, Terry out: Is this Conte’s dream Chelsea back three for the 2017/18 season?
CB – Cesar Azpilicueta
The only survivor of the Chelsea back three from the current season is Cesar Azpilicueta.
Though naturally a right-back, Azpilicueta has performed wherever he has played – and in the heart of the defence could well be his best position.
He isn’t the most spectacular defender, but he is undoubtedly one of Europe’s best – and there is no doubting that he will continue to be the main man at the back for the Blues.
