Dublin noted that he “could quite easily just go with the whole Chelsea team,” before realising that he’d probably have to make a few changes. In come Phil Jones of Manchester United, Danny Rose of Tottenham, and Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez. “Those three players that I’ve put in have been outstanding,” he adds.

Matt Holland’s XI

Pickford

Azpilicueta Van Dijk Luiz

De Bruyne Kante Lallana Hazard

Yes, that is Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard as wing-backs. “They’re not particularly wing-backs,” he explains, “but they’ll have to do a job for me.

“There are not many defenders in that team, but they’d be exciting to watch, that’s for sure.”
