Right Back – Cesar Azpilicueta

Despite normally playing as a third centerback in Chelsea’s 3-5-2 formation, Azpilicueta is a wing-back by trade. Victor Moses has seen time at right wing-back but may not be available tomorrow due to a toe injury which kept him out against Palace. The 27-year-old Spaniard is an aggressive defender, but has seen a lot of time since joining from Marseille back in 2013. He also enjoys getting involved offensively, while spraying the opposing box with crosses constantly. Pablo Zabaleta should be ready to start for Manchester City on Wednesday, but Azpilicueta gets the nod in my book.
