Central Midfield
Schneiderlin, Fabregas, Herrera.
Morgan Schneiderlin has been at the heart of Southampton’s play this season, and his busy nature in central midfield has propelled the Saints to 3rd in the league table after the first couple of months.
Little surprise to see Cesc Fabregas find his way in this team after having completed a big money move from FC Barcelona in the summer. The Spaniard has seven assists to his name in the league so far, all seven incidentally for Diego Costa.
Ander Herrera has been impressing one and all since arriving from Spain, and seems to be capable of adding an element that Manchester United have lacked for ages – goals from midfield. With two goals and one assist in the league already, can the former Bilbao man be the difference this season?
Wingers/AMs/Forwards
Di Maria, Costa, Hazard.
Angel Di Maria has been the star of Manchester United so far this season with 3 goals and 4 assists in his 5 league starts for the Red Devils, his versatility and industry providing United with that much needed balance in midfield. At this rate, the Argentine could well be a Balon d’Or contender this season.
Diego Costa has been scoring goals for fun this season having netted nine in his first seven games in the league for the Blues, the most recent coming in a 2-0 victory over a lackluster Arsenal.
Eden Hazard’s form has been patchy, or indifferent with all due respect, but the Belgian has the power and the running ability to unlock the best defences in the league. With two goals and an assist to his name, the Belgian gets a place in our EPL XI so far.
