Who is Chelsea's Player of the Season?
Chelsea produced the worst title defence of any club in Premier League history in 2015-16, but who has been their silver lining in a difficult campaign?
We are left scratching our heads to find the Player of the Season for Chelsea after a tepid campaign in which stars such as John Terry, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas have failed to shine.
The Blues were only one point above the relegation zone on December 17, and they subsequently sacked Jose Mourinho, who paid for a terrible run of nine defeats in 16 matches.
They were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain 4-2 on aggregate and Diego Costa's infamous red card saw them dumped out of the FA Cup to Everton in the quarter-final at Goodison Park. No silverware is in sight for the Stamford Bridge side, who finished the campaign with Guus Hiddink in charge.
Picking three names from their worst season in 20 years is no easy task but these are three men who can hold their heads up high in a dire year for the club as Antonio Conte prepares to take charge in the summer.
WILLIAN


Willian has undoubtedly been Chelsea's most productive attacking player over the course of a difficult campaign. His free kicks helped Chelsea through a difficult period early in the season, including a vital effort against Dynamo Kiev that helped them through to the knockout stages of the Champions League. The Brazilian has established himself as a regular with his international side after contributing 10 goals and six assists for the Blues.
KURT ZOUMA


The 21-year old centre-back is likely to take over as the defensive lynchpin from John Terry, who is set to leave the club in the summer. The Frenchman has proven this season that he can cement his starting spot amid competition from Gary Cahill, Branislav Ivanovic and his captain. In using Zouma over Cahill, Mourinho bucked his usual trend and gave a younger player the chance to develop in the first team - and it was a gamble that paid off.
Zouma's good form was halted in its tracks when he tore his cruciate ligament against Manchester United, surely ending any hopes of a Euro 2016 berth. His solid 31 appearances for Chelsea are enough to earn him a spot in the top three, however.
CESAR AZPILICUETA


An ever present for Chelsea in a season in which they have suffered much defensive unrest, playing in either full-back role. He is affectionately known as 'Dave' by Chelsea fans and was awarded the club's Player's Player of the Year last season as he lifted his first Premier League title. And the Spain star has been just as good as any right-back in England's top flight this term.
He has managed to contribute two goals and two assists, and has been a dependable figure throughout this season.

James Milner: From bit part at City to big shot at Liverpool

-

The 30-year-old filled in at Manchester City, but he is fundamental at Anfield. He may not play in his preferred position, but he does so from one of power Jurgen Klopp had barely mapped out his way to Melwood before he first commended James Milner’s cerebral comprehension of the game.  “A complete football player, the perfect professional, a machine” was the German’s assessment after a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last October; his first fixture as Liverpool’s manager. Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open for this position the
