(Image): Marc Cucurella shows superb defensive stats – but stronger teams could catch him out

Marc Cucurella was great as a left centre back against Dortmund in the Champions League last week, and followed that performance up with another good showing against Leicester on Saturday.

His stats from the game at the weekend show he made 2 interceptions and won 7 duels as he harried the Foxes’ forwards.

What he love is seeing him play his role on the front foot as he has done in the last two games.

Chelsea are the ones pushing forward, and he has the chance to break from his back three to press. It’s against stronger sides, when we’re defending, that he’s struggled so far.
