7. Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea)
Appearances: 15 (3)
Total tackles: 64
Tackles per game: 3.56
Ashley Cole was dropped by Chelsea in December, which meant Cesar Azpilicueta was shifted across to left back.
Despite it not being his usual position, the Spaniard has shone, particularly against opposition wingers that cut inside to shoot at goal.
Azpilicueta’s right-footedness puts him naturally in the position to tackle such players, and that may explain his impressive figures.
