If Pablo Zabaleta has had the edge over Branislav Ivanovic over the last few years, in the battle to be regarded as the Premier League's best right-back, this season the Chelsea man has been easily the best around. The 30-year-old is a monster of a full-back, and he appears to be at the peak of his powers. The Serbia international has been a big reason why Chelsea have been so difficult to breach so far this season, and it is difficult to see a flaw in his game. He is fast, strong, superb defensively and very effective going forward, and he also has that winners mentality about him. He has been such a brilliant servant to the Blues since arriving from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008. Ivanovic has also shown how dangerous he can be in the oppositions box, scoring against Burnley and Everton. There are not many who get the better of him aerially, and in truth, it's hard to think of too many right-backs in the world better than him currently.
