I've said I think Rice just has the edge on Caicedo. So I just felt he had to be in the team.



So I apologise to Chelsea fans, as I seem to do a lot! But no, I couldn't find room for Caicedo because of those reasons."And also, I had to put Bruno Fernandes in.

They're going to miss him, he doesn't miss too many games now he's injured."But, I mean, you look at his numbers, I think he's still created the most chances, maybe got the most assists in the Premier League, or certainly very close."He's the outstanding chance creator in the Premier League even playing from a deeper position."Reece James was also omitted from the XI despite an impressive campaign (Image: (Photo by Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty Images))Carragher also explained why he didn't select Reece James at right-back, stating: "I would say the right back position is probably the most difficult."I was really close to putting [Jurrien] Timber in, who I'm a huge fan of. But I think he's got three goals, a couple of assists as well, so I think he's fantastic - Daniel Munoz."And when asked to identify his top three players so far this campaign, Carragher responded: "Haaland and Rice would be certainly the two that would stand out right away, and I think Rogers is sort of just on their coat tails."
