STAR MAN
Juan Mata
The classy midffielder was linked with a move to Emirates Stadium over the summer, but instead pitched up at Stamford Bridge. The Spaniard has probably been Chelsea's best player of the season so far, with his technical abilities in midfield complimented well by a handful of goals to his name. He is certainly one to watch at the Emirates.
