CB – Branislav Ivanovic, Chelsea – 30
Admittedly the Serbian has mostly played at right-back this season, but he is equally as adept in central defence having originally played there when first joining the Blues.
Ivanovic has been key in the success Jose Mourinho has achieved since returning to west London, particularly in making the team the best defensively in the English top tier.
With changes expected at Stamford Bridge this summer the 30-year-old may be utilised in a more central role next term, with a number of key players’ contracts ending.
