Chelsea have been well represented in this weeks team of the week in a reduced Premier League fixture list.

The Blues picked up a narrow 1-0 win over rivals Fulham at the weekend, making it four league wins in their last five outings.

Cole Palmer’s penalty on the stroke of half-time was enough to get the Blues over the line, allowing the 21-year-old to exercise a few demons of his own after the loss to Middlesbrough last week.

However, the 21-year-old was not one of the players named in the team of the week for the Premier League by WhoScored.

Enzo Fernandez picked up the man of the match award for his performance at the weekend, as he gave everyone a timely reminder of his quality in the win at Stamford Bridge.

The World Cup winner features in a strong midfield that performed well this week, however the rest of the Chelsea representatives come elsewhere.

Levi Colwill has often come in for criticism when he has featured out of position on the left of defence at Stamford Bridge. However, he put in a commanding and assured display at the back to see him named in this squad.

Another clean sheet on the board for Djordje Petrovic saw him pick up a place in this side too.

He has been extremely impressive since coming into the side as a replacement for Robert Sanchez, with it currently looking as if he should not be dropped when the Spaniard returns to fitness again.

The final Blue in the side is perhaps the most surprising, with Armando Broja featuring as part of the front three.

While he didn’t find the net, the academy graduate was a key asset in their attacks, and his efforts were recognised with a place in the team ahead of Palmer or Raheem Sterling.
