Right now the Premier League is a three horse race with Manchester City and Liverpool sitting right at the top while Chelsea are right behind on their tail.
And under Maurizio Sarri, the Blues have grown in leaps and bounds and a number of fans are putting money on them to pick up the trophy at the end of the season.
While most of the Chelsea players have been performing exceptionally, but Eden Hazard has most certainly been the star of the show proving once again that he is right up there with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo.
Eden Hazard has so far made nine appearances for Chelsea this season and he has already clocked up seven goals.
There are a few defenders in European football right now who can stand tall and match Eden Hazard stride for stride.
But even this great player might sometimes find it difficult to get back defenders and so he was asked as to who is the best defender in the Premier League.

“He’s more of a central defender but Kompany is at the top and one of the best in the world,” Eden Hazard said.
“He got a lot of injuries but this guy is a top player.
“Virgil van Dijk since last year is one of the best in the world for sure. To play against him last Saturday, I can tell he is one of the best and he’s still young also.”
Many believe that Maurizio Sarri has instilled new hope in Eden Hazard giving him a free hand during games but the Belgian has made it clear that it is because of his teammates that he can enjoy the freedom which he does during games.
Yes, the season is still at its early stages but a lot of people are confident that this season Eden Hazard could be a contender for the Ballon d’Or.
