LONDON. — Chelsea dominated the team of the year announced yesterday by the Professional Footballers’ Association, with six players from the English Premier League champions-elect in the side voted for by their fellow pros in England.

Jose Mourinho’s side, who faced London rivals Arsenal yesterday, are well clear at the top of the table and on the brink of bringing the English title back to Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2010.

The PFA team comprised just four English players.
