Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea)
The Serbian has a no nonsense style that suits the Premier League down to the ground. Ivanovic also loves to bomb forward and is a constant aerial threat in the opposition penalty area. Indeed, the 29-year-old has 14 goals to his name for Chelsea, included the winning goal in the Europa League final against Benefica.
The Serbia international has firmly established himself as a mainstay at either right back or centre half for Chelsea. Bacary Sagna, meanwhile, is gradually getting back to his best but still does not look he player he was before his unfortunate spate of injuries, which included two broken legs in 12 months.
