Chelsea pair headline defensive line-up

GK – Alisson, Liverpool – The Reds’ keeper made six saves to keep out a tough Brentford side, who don’t normally struggle to put the ball in the net.

LB – Josko Gvardiol, Manchester City – The City defender was crucial in helping his side to keeping a clean sheet against Ipswich.

CB – Tosin Adarabioyo, Chelsea – Standing in for Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana, Tosin was excellent on Monday night, netting Chelsea’s first goal.

CB – Trevoh Chalobah, Chelsea – Having just been recalled from his loan at Crystal Palace, Chalobah helped to defend well against Wolves, he also assisted Noni Madueke’s goal, which should have been his.

RB – Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool – Trent assisted one of Darwin Nunez’ goals against Brentford, and also helped his side keep a clean sheet.
