Premier League Team Of The Season So Far

7. Leighton Baines (Left-back)

Club: Everton Here's an Everton player who definitely couldn't be left out. Baines has been awesome for his club this season, and should definitely be Roy Hodgson left-back of choice for the World Cup this summer. His attacking capabilities are unquestionable €“ he has already netted 3 times this season and poses a threat whenever he goes forward - but Baines is also solid at the back too, which is precisely why his name crops up every time a transfer window opens. He is one of the main reasons why Everton have performed so well this season, and his versatility means boss Martinez has a strong defender, a clinical set-piece taker, and a first-rate attacker all in one. England fans should be pretty excited at the prospect of seeing how Baines performs in Brazil this summer, because if he can replicate the form he has demonstrated in the league this season, he might just be a crucial part of Hodgson's team.
