Can Danny Drinkwater reproduce the form at Chelsea that he showed for Leicester during their title-winning season?
I like Drinkwater. I like his mentality and I like his range of passing.
I’m interested to see whether he can revive his midfield partnership with N’Golo Kante, which was crucial to Leicester’s success in 2015-16.
The concern I have about Drinkwater is whether he can perform when he is in and out of the side.
When you play every week, you build up confidence and rhythm and Drinkwater was the man at Leicester.

He created chances for Jamie Vardy, he helped Kante in the middle. There was no pressure on his place.
The Premier League is a super level of football. Everyone is incredibly fit and you are constantly under pressure.
There is no way you can reproduce that in training and it will be interesting to see how Drinkwater copes with his new role.
