Centre-Midfield – Santi Cazorla – Arsenal
This one was between two Spaniards. Santi Cazorla or Cesc Fabregas.
Simply it went down to who is better in this position and we think it’s Cazorla.
The little magician is so influential for Arsenal and he’s adapted to the new position brilliantly sitting just alongside Coquelin in the heart of the midfield.
Fabregas is a bit more attack-minded and thrives playing off the striker and that’s not what he’s doing at Chelsea right now so this position is best filled by Cazorla.
Right-Midfield – Eden Hazard – Chelsea
Obviously.
He may have had a poor start to this campaign but last year Eden Hazard was Mr Consistent for Chelsea and it’s only a matter of time before he starts turning it on again for the Blues.
On his day he’s simply unplayable and that’s why he has to make our team.
Player of the Year last season and surely we will see that form from him once again sooner rather than later.
Centre-Attacking Mid – Mesut Ozil – Arsenal
We don’t care what people say. This guy is not a flop and nor is he invisible.
He may not be 100% in the big matches, but when you actually sit and watch him play football, it’s breathtaking.
He sees passes no-one else does and has certain ways of pulling it off. He really is a gem to watch and it’s shocking that some football fans jut cannot see it.
Mesut Ozil gets in our team.
Left-Midfield – Alexis Sanchez – Arsenal
Of course he was going to make it.
Luckily for us we don’t have to choose Hazard or Alexis, we can have both.
Simply stunning debut season and just like Hazard, we are confident Arsenal fans will see the best of him sooner rather than later.
He might be a bit fatigued after a hectic schedule, but it’s only a matter of time before the Chilean starts dazzling again.
Striker – Diego Costa – Chelsea
Chelsea can find themselves lucky that Arsenal don’t really have a great striker.
We aren’t totally convinced by Diego Costa, but he’s the best of the bunch when you consider it’s either Olivier Giroud or Theo Walcott from Arsenal.
Costa‘s injury record and temper is a concern but you can’t knock his finishing ability and because of that, he leads our line ahead of the Arsenal duo.
