Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante are the outstanding candidates for player of the season... but which Chelsea player should win the award?

Chelsea's Premier League title hopes were threatening to be derailed. But only very briefly.

Antonio Conte's side hit back from a 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace at the weekend with a crucial 2-1 victory over Pep Guardiola's Manchester City on Wednesday. Their nearest rivals, Tottenham, recorded a late 3-1 win at Swansea but for Spurs to have any realistic chance of reeling in the Blues, a City victory was imperative.

A Premier League title would complete a significant turnaround at Stamford Bridge, with the majority of the current team comprised of the one that finished 10th last season, and were 16th when Jose Mourinho was sacked in December 2015.
