The England midfielder has struggled for regular starting opportunities this season, but has consistently made an impact off the bench and again out-performed the man he replaced (Kovacic) in a scintillating cameo.

There have been rumours that Loftus-Cheek may leave the club in January, but it's clear that the fans think he should be drafted straight into the first XI instead.
