Gary Cahill
Not a glamour player like the others mentioned on this list, the role that Cahill plays is pivotal in a team managed by Mourinho nonetheless.
That is because the manager likes his sides to defend strongly and the reason the Blues had the best record at the back in the English top tier last campaign was largely thanks to this 28-year-old.
Although captain John Terry received much of the plaudits, at 33-years-old the skipper isn’t going to be in the team for too much longer and Cahill could well be his natural successor to receive the armband.
