Chelsea Football Club seems to be on a five-month honeymoon since their historic Champions League win. Honeymoons don't last forever, as we all know, but it seems to be a perfect marriage.

In fact, it's a three-way marriage between three midfield lovers.

Juan Mata, Oscar and Eden Hazard have worked together very well through the first month or so in the Premier League. One of their best qualities is that they have similar style of play but all can offer their own unique spin on the genre, if you will.

Mata offers the speed on the flanks and that dynamic pass-andgo style, but since he's moved into the middle of the pitch, he has offered so much more in almost all parts of his play. In their October 20 game against Tottenham, this was on show, as he was all over the pitch, creating and scoring. On his first goal, the ball dropped into him just at the top of the box after a cross from Oscar, he easily slotted it home with a powerful low shot. Naturally, without the free-flowing central midfield role he has been put into, we wouldn't see his full potential of putting the ball in the back of the net. On his second, he used his equally creative pal Eden Hazard to find him on a long run through the Spurs' defense (even with eight Spurs defenders between him and a teammate). There was great awareness as John Mikel Obi, Hazard then Mata again linked up with three brilliant passes.

This moves us to Hazard. Considered one of the better playmakers of the current game, Hazard stands at 5 foot 7, a similar height to Mata, and shares the same dribbling ability as Juan. He is explosive and always a threat to defenders, even when sitting behind the attackers, because of his breakneck speed and ability to set up goals from seemingly anywhere. As with the Mata assist, Hazard is a fantastic passer, and his creativity complements that to a tee.

Meanwhile there is also Oscar. The taller of the three at 5 foot 10, Oscar has the pure skill to thrive off of the creativity of Hazard. He is very much a pass-and-move player, with the speed, touch and finish to make him very dangerous bypassing defenders. One of the biggest benefits from Oscar's point of view from this trifecta is that players like Hazard can be used as reference points if he was to run through defenses. All it takes is a short pass to a standing Eden to release Oscar into an attacking position. And that's only when he comes into the middle: most of the time he plays on the wing and launches balls into the box, just as he did for Juan Mata's first goal.

These three stingy midfielders/attackers have come into what was an older midfield and have revamped the style and the way they create goals. With Chelsea at the top of the league and showing no signs of stopping, you have to wonder if all of these honeymooners will win Player of the Year.
