Former Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has claimed that there are two players currently in the squad that are about to become even better.

He told DAZN that he thinks both Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo are only going to improve the more they play together.

Fernandez and Caicedo have been two of the most important players in the squad this season, with Mauricio Pochettino seemingly searching for a way to get them into the side and play to their strengths.

This has been a real struggle at times, with them looking as if they are playing with complete strangers at times.

However, the system utilised by the manager recently, particularly in the second half against Crystal Palace has given newfound hope.

Cahill has now predicted the duo to flourish from here on out.

He said: “I think the midfield partnership between Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo is only going to get better and better the more they play with each other.

“Everything is easier when things are going well for the team and this is a tough time. Enzo is an experienced player so there will be lots of players in that dressing room looking to him to get them through this tough moment.

“For Caicedo, it will be a matter of progressing and getting back to the levels that we have seen from him previously. I still think he is adapting at the club and I can speak from experience because I moved to Chelsea from a smaller club in Bolton.

“In some ways it is easier because you’re surrounded by better players, but it is also harder because of the pressure and the flack that you get when you’re not getting results. He’s still adapting to the club as a whole after moving from a club like Brighton.”

Pochettino will now be looking to fine tune things against Manchester City this weekend before taking part in the EFL Cup final at the end of the month.
