When Chelsea re-signed Matic for £21m in January of this year, many felt he was the man to add dominance and class to the Blues' midfield. They were right. He was sensational in his first game, away to Manchester City, and from that point on he has never looked back. The 26-year-old has been faultless so far this season, dominating every midfield battle that has come his way. Although strictly a defence-minded midfielder with an excellent reading of the game, underrated pace and an imposing physical frame, Matic is also a very fine footballer. He has a terrific left foot at his disposal, and he can pick a pass when needed. He has also chipped in with a couple of goals in all competitions. On current form, the Serbia star is not only one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League, but also in Europe. He has been a massive reason for Chelsea's unstoppable start to the season.
