Following his recent injury problems, Jones made his first start in almost two months against Arsenal on May 7th. He played the whole game and also lasted the whole 90 minutes in the following games against Spurs, Southampton, and Crystal Palace. Played fairly well and hardly put a foot wrong in those games. Probably picked for the last game in order to build up his match fitness and should be in contention to start ahead of Smalling.

Chance to start: 7/10
