Diego Costa and Philippe Coutinho make Charlie Nicholas’ Premier League team of the season so far
Show/hide article…
With 10 games played, we challenged Soccer Saturday pundit Charlie Nicholas to pick his Premier League team of the season so far.
The Arsenal and Celtic legend has made some obvious picks, such as Sky Sports Fantasy Football’s leading scorer Philippe Coutinho, but he’s also gone for some left-field selections, with only four of his XI playing for the current top four.
Tottenham have the best defensive record and, while I know he missed a few games, he’s been top qualify whenever called upon. There are lots of times when he’s quiet for long periods then he makes important saves. It sounds crazy because of how Sunderland are doing but the young lad Jordan Pickford deserves a mention because he has been excellent.
Right-backs in the modern game are a real outlet and while Kyle Walker is also a big influence and Nathaniel Clyne has been excellent, Bellerin has the understanding as well as the pace. I think he’s improved a lot as a defender, which we saw when Chelsea visited the Emirates.
I’ve covered Burnley on three occasions this season and in all honesty I don’t know why he couldn’t force his way into the Manchester United team, especially when they’re playing the likes of Marcos Rojo. He’s an honest lad who puts his body on the line and deserves credit for kicking on at Burnley after failing to break through at Old Trafford.
He’s got such good quality on the ball. He’s 6’ 5" but he’s got a typically Dutch elegance. He could play midfield, he’s that comfortable on the ball, and he’s good in the air. Yes he makes a few rash decisions, but that’s what more adventurous defenders tend to do.
There’s not exactly been fierce competition at left-back but I’m going with one of the few Leicester players who have kept their standards high. He scored a cracking goal last week, nearly scored another one this weekend, and what I really like about him is his delivery. Quality in delivery is so important in this position and he’s got it in abundance.
Well you can probably guess I’m not really a fan of the holding player and I’m not dressing my team up to do anything but attack, so I’m going for a player who is great at starting them. He’s also proved he can finish moves this season. I thought he was hard done by at Liverpool and he has adapted brilliantly at Stoke.
Roberto Firmino has been better at times, while Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana have been excellent but I’ve gone for Coutinho, who is the stardust of Liverpool. If you stop him then you go a long way to stopping Liverpool.
Some might be surprised to see Amrabat included but I’m not just looking at the top sides and I just think he gives great balance and energy to Watford, while he’s actually got good quality in the final third. I think he’s been a star buy and just edges out Santi Cazorla, who has been really important for Arsenal this season.
Theo Walcott has been excellent but I’m going for Redmond on the right. I watched two or three games where Southampton tried to play him as a centre-forward and it didn’t work but they’ve found him a spot behind Charlie Austin where he can run at defences with the ball and link up with Dusan Tadic.
He’s got speed, technique and he should get even more goals because he’s excellent in that role. I know this weekend didn’t go to plan but he’s been absolutely outstanding otherwise.
To the left and slightly behind my striker is the creative genius that is Mesut Ozil. He’s got assists in abundance, while he’s also looking fitter with the runs he’s making and is more of a leader now, with goals added to his game as well. He’s got touch as gentle as silence, like he’s controlling a sponge. If Arsenal are to win the title then he is the key.
My striker is going to be Costa. I’m not and I never will be his biggest fan but you’d love him if he was on your team. He’s still got his appetite and his fighting spirit but he’s got his quality back this season, which you could see with his second goal at Southampton, and is probably leading the player of the year vote right now.

Luiz talks up Chelsea’s title hopes despite warning from boss Antonio
Show/hide article…
David Luiz insists Chelsea are Premier League title challengers despite his manager Antonio Conte asking that they not be judged until after Christmas.
The Blues moved within a point of league leaders Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal with victory against Southampton on Sunday night.
Conte warned his players afterward to ignore the table until the New Year when they would, in his view, have a better idea of whether they will be competing for the league trophy by May.
But Luiz declared: 'We are title challengers. It will be like this until the end. It is still just the beginning, the end is more important than the beginning.
'We need to keep our feet on the floor. We try our best every match and try to improve our level. We know the Premier League isn’t easy.
‘Mr Conte works hard with us and tries to give a lot of information for us to prepare the plans for the games in the best way. It is important to continue this way. If you sleep for one minute you start to lose and then you lose one, two, three matches. We have to be awake all the time.’
Chelsea appeared off the pace after a poor run of three games a month ago during which they drew with Swansea, lost to Liverpool and were thrashed by rivals Arsenal.
Luiz’s team-mate Gary Cahill was involved in a series of high-profile mistakes during that period which culminated in him gifting Arsenal the opening goal in that crushing 3-0 defeat back in September.
Since then, however, Chelsea have gone 410 minutes in the Premier League without being breached and Cahill has conceded only two goals in seven appearances for his club and England. Both of those came in the recent EFL Cup defeat to West Ham meaning the other six have been clean sheets.
‘Don’t write me off,’ Cahill warned. ‘It’s easy to criticise someone after certain games and it’s fair enough. Sometimes you haven’t had a good game. But people are very quick to write people off. If you are at the top level you have to be mentally strong.
'For me it was a matter of time before I turned the corner and got back to the performance levels that I should be at.
'The last four games I’m back to where I should be, I’m playing well, I feel good. We talk about character of the team, but sometimes you have to show character yourself and that’s what I feel like I have done.
‘Criticism is one thing, but to write someone off is very dangerous when you have a mindset as strong as mine, especially when I think I can work hard to turn the corner and come out again.’
Chelsea’s defensive form, in which Luiz and Cahill have been integral, has coincided with Conte switching to his preferred but unorthodox 3-4-3 formation.
Cahill, who is playing on the left of the three defenders, admits he has had to get used to running more to cover out wide compared to when he plays in a conventional back four with another centre-back.
He has also spent plenty of time assessing his early-season errors, which, he feels, has benefitted his resurgence.
‘I will never go away from a game having played badly and dust it off as if it doesn’t matter,’ he said.
‘That’s just not me. Everyone deals with things differently, but I certainly reflect. I sometimes beat myself up personally, but in terms of my frame of mind, when things don’t go well, I want to be there.
‘But the manager comes into this as well. There was a time, maybe after Arsenal away, where I could have been pulled out of the side, but he showed belief in me.
'That is the most important crucial time because when you have a bad spell or a bad game, the first thing you want to do is play again. I’m not the kind of person to shy away and think 'things aren’t going well so I’ll take a back seat. I have turned the corner, produced performances in the last few weeks and I’m pleased.’
