Well considering it's only a LONDON team of the year, it's not that surprising, is it?

Cech

Ivanovic Luiz Vertonghen Cole

Sandro Arteta

Mata Cazorla Bale

Defoe

My London XI from 2012:

Cech

Ivanovic Cahill Vertonghen Cole

Ramires Arteta

Hazard Mata Bale

Drogba

Bench:

Lloris, Oscar, Defoe, Sandro, Cazorla, Luiz, Walcott.

I don't think anyone would argue a London XI would be dominated with Chelsea players. Notice no Cazorla (in the starting lineup) and that is because, quite simpy, Mata is better. Hazard and Bale are different sorts of players who would provide width and speed so are not in contention with Cazorla.

I'm surprised this hasn't turned into a Mikel debate thread yet.

Vertonghen? For what?

JT, Cahill, Luiz and Ivanovic are all more deserving. So is Bosingwa

A good comment:

I think the problem with London XI is, if picked fairly, it will end up being a Chelsea XI. I don't really see the point of this at all
