With just nine gameweeks in this tipsy-topsy Premier League campaign, the fight for the title is expected to go down to the wire. Chelsea’s shock defeat to Aston Villa blew open the title race while Liverpool and Manchester City continued their surge towards the zenith of the table. Today however, we provide our readers with three of the best defenders who have been exceptional at the back this season and try to figure out a comparison based on stats.

3. Gary Cahill:

 

The former Bolton man has been ever present in Mourinho’s backline and together with John Terry has kept an enviable 12 clean sheets this campaign. Calm and composed in possession, Cahill rarely makes a defensive mistake winning a staggering 70% of his duels head on. Moreover he always has the eye for a pass enabling Chelsea to play out from the back. With 87% pass completion rate and 185 clearances this season, Cahill will spearhead England’s charge in World Cup in Brazil. Talking of stats, the Chelsea man has earned only one red card and 2 yellow cards in the process. Easily, makes his way in our list for the best defender contender award for the season.
