If anyone doubted the value of Cesc Fabregas to Arsenal or Michael Essien to Chelsea, 2008/09 might well go down as the season that they became almost priceless to their clubs.former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit talking to BBC Sport. "Big players make the difference at big moments and on big occasions,"
"If you saw Fabregas in the first leg of Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final against Villarreal, it wasn't his best game but with one touch he gave the perfect pass for Adebayor to score a great goal.
"It's similar with Essien. Since returning he has scored an important goal against Juventus, another at home against Manchester City and dominated Steven Gerrard in Chelsea's Champions League quarter-final first leg at Liverpool."
''Essien is more physical and powerful than Fabregas but Fabregas is better tactically and has greater ability and movement - if you could take both players and make one player out of them, that would be the perfect player ''
