What happened. Levi Colwill has been entrusted with the vice-captaincy at Chelsea under Xabi Alonso, stepping up in the absence of Reece James, Moises Caicedo, and Enzo Fernandez. The 23-year-old defender has captained the Blues twice in four appearances this season.

• Colwill has started four games across all competitions, wearing the armband twice.
• Chelsea have climbed the Premier League table and reached the Carabao Cup fourth round.
• Despite his impact, there is still room for improvement in his game.

Colwill's leadership role could grow as Chelsea manage Reece James's workload and Caicedo's fitness.
