Everton's Leighton Baines winning the race ahead of Chelsea's Ashley Cole to be England's best left-back

After all it’s been a difficult campaign for Cole and for Chelsea and, with voting under way among the players, he is not in his best form.What could be interesting, however, is that Cole could lose out to an Englishman in the Premier League's select XI for the first time since 2001-02 when Wayne Bridge, then of Southampton, was chosen ahead of him.
