Frank Lampard was in the Sky Sports studio alongside Jamie Carragher last night for Monday Night Football and proved to be an adequate replacement for Gary Neville.
Lampard and Carragher were previewing and analysing the Chelsea-West Ham game that kicked off at 8pm but the former England pair looked at a number of different topics and talking points from the weekend's action.
And as part of the broadcast, Lampard, Chelsea's record goalscorer, was asked to pick his Team of the Season so far and though these type of things always divide opinion, I reckon he's got it about spot on.
Inevitably, there's a crop of Chelsea players, five in fact, as they have been utterly brilliant this season and look like they have one hand on the Premier League trophy after a professional performance and 2-1 victory over West Ham last night.

Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, the machine that is N'Golo Kante, Eden Hazard and Diego Costa all feature in the side and will probably all be included in the majority of pundits' teams.
Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea takes his place in between the sticks, and the remaining five spots are filled by English players - which speaks volumes of how well some of the England players have played this season.
Burnley's Michael Keane and Southampton's Ryan Bertrand complete the back four, while Adam Lallana and Spurs double act Dele Alli and Harry Kane are included following their fine form - the duo have scored 32 goals between them in the Premier League this season.
Here is Lampard's team in full, where he has gone for a diamond formation:

Strikingly, Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez and Spurs duo Kyle Walker and Danny Rose don't make the cut and that's bound to cause plenty of debate in the comments section.
