    Many of Dream Team’s most popular defenders are floundering but is it time to panic?

    DREAM TEAM managers are facing a crisis.Points are drying up for many of the game’s most popular defenders and it’s not all that clear whether gaffers should stick or twist.Slim pickingsCredit: Dream TeamTrent Alexander-Arnold (£5.7m) remains the most selected defender with an ownership of 26% but he’s immune to this trend because he capitalised on a favourable FA Cup match-up with Accrington Stanley with a goal and clean sheet for a 17-point return on Saturday.But for William Saliba (£4.9m), Virgil van Dijk (£5.1m) and Josko Gvardiol (£4.3m), the second, third and fourth most popular defenders, it’s been slim pickings of late.Arsenal’s French centre-back has mustered nine points from his last four outings while Liverpool’s captain has scraped eight points together from his three most recent games.Manchester City’s Croatian left-back has registered 17 points from his last five appearances.It’s a similar story for Rico Lewis (£3.1m), Noussair Mazraoui (£2.9m), Diogo Dalot (£3.2m) and Andy Robertson (£4m), who are all within the 15 most selected defenders at present.Gvardiol’s returns have dried up during Man City’s slumpCredit: GettyGabriel (£5m) is exempt because he scored against Manchester United last time out, his fifth goal of the season, but his owners received just six points from his previous three outings.Pedro Porro (£4.2m), Lewis Hall (£4.4m) and the aforementioned Alexander-Arnold are the only (relatively) popular defenders who have provided healthy returns lately.That’s the state of play but how should Dream Team bosses react?Most read in FootballThe first thing to note is that Gameweek 19 is not yet complete.A clean sheet for Arsenal in the North London derby this evening will put Gabriel and Saliba’s backers at ease.Ruben Amorim will be hopeful of a stress-free win at home to Southampton on Thursday night given Saints are rooted to the bottom of the table with just six points to their name.Gabriel and Saliba have been short on clean sheets latelyCredit: GETTYFurther blanks for the Gunners and Red Devils will really set the cat among the pigeons.Gaffers will be understandably reluctant to ditch most of the aforementioned defenders because the upcoming schedule favours Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Man United and Tottenham.These six teams have four fixtures to fulfil across Gameweeks 20 and 21 because of Champions League and Europa League commitments – the other 14 clubs will play just twice in the same time frame.UPCOMING DOUBLE GAMEWEEKSMANCHESTER CITY vs Ipswich (a) & PSG (a), Chelsea (h) & Club Brugge (h)ARSENAL vs Aston Villa (h) & Dinamo Zagreb (h), Wolves (a) & Girona (a)LIVERPOOL vs Brentford (a) & Lille (h), Ipswich (h) & PSV (a)ASTON VILLA vs Arsenal (a) & Monaco (a), West Ham (h) & Celtic (h)MANCHESTER UNITED vs Brighton (h) & Rangers (h), Fulham (a) & FCSB (a)TOTTENHAM vs Everton (a) & Hoffenheim (a), Leicester (h) & Elfsborg (h)There are plenty of points on offer there for Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs on paper but gaffers stacked with Man United and Man City defenders will probably be more keen on replacements.Mazraoui is a tackle machine but his points have dwindled in recent GameweeksCredit: RexPep Guardiola’s side just aren’t right at present, particularly at the back where they’re still conceding far too many clearcut opportunities.14.1%-owned Lewis didn’t play a single minute in Gameweek 19.Whereas Man United haven’t kept a clean sheet since December 1st.READ MORE SUN STORIESDepending on what happens at the Emirates tonight, Porro is likely to be a popular recruit ahead of the Gameweek 20 deadline.While others have floundered, Spurs’ right-back has notched 31 points from his last four games and is up to third in the defensive rankings.Score PredictorPlay Score Predictor with Dream Team this season!FREE to play£250 weekly prizePredict scores of five selected Premier League fixtures and earn points for accuracyMost points wins weekly cash prizePLAY NOW More

    How Arsenal could line up against bitter rivals Tottenham with ex-England man making only third Prem start of season

    Chelsea activate Trevoh Chalobah recall clause just hours before he was due to play for Crystal Palace against Leicester

    CHELSEA have recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his Crystal Palace loan just hours before the Eagles’ match against Leicester.The centre-back was shipped off on loan to Selhurst Park last summer after being deemed surplus to requirements by Enzo Maresca.Chelsea have recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Crystal PalaceCredit: PABut the Athletic claims Chalobah is now set to play an “important role” after being brought back to Stamford Bridge.The versatile centre-back had become a big player for Palace after returning from injury.He was in line to start tonight’s league clash against Leicester, having already played 14 times under Oliver Glasner while scoring three goals in the process.But it’s claimed that Palace did not stand in the way of Chelsea’s decision to recall the 25-year-old.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLAnd the Stamford Bridge hierarchy are said to “appreciate” Palace’s handling of the situation.As for Chalobah, could now slot straight into Chelsea’s XI alongside Levi Colwill following injuries to several Blues stars.Wesley Fofana could be out for the rest of the season with a fresh hamstring blow.While Benoit Badiashile is also sidelined for the foreseeable with a thigh problem.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSAxel Disasi is also thought to be in talks over a transfer exit and was left out of last night’s squad for the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.It meant Chelsea only had Tosin Adarabioyo and youngster Josh Acheampong available to partner Colwill.Chelsea vs Bournemouth: Player Ratings articleBut Chalobah’s return shores things up for the Blues at the back.And it likely rules out the need for a new centre-back purchase, with Chelsea having been linked with Palace captain Marc Guehi.It marks an incredible U-turn for Chalobah, who was axed to Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ over the summer.Training alongside other misfits like Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell, Chalobah was left out of the Blues’ pre-season tour to the US.Now, he could be the man who helps saves Chelsea’s season after a five-game winless run.Maresca’s men have picked up just three points from the last possible 15, throwing their title credentials into disarray and now leaving them in a dogfight for a top four finish which appeared a certainty a month ago.
