1. Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)

Alexis Sanchez is undoubtedly one of the best buys in the Premier League this season. Arsene Wenger bought Sanchez from Barcelona last summer for a bargain price. Alexis Sanchez has surpassed all expectations and has performed exceptionally well for the gunners. Sanchez has mostly operated from the right wing position. His work rate has been fantastic. The Chilean’s performance has inspired Arsenal to do well in this season. Sanchez has scored 13 goals in this season, more than many strikers of the league. He assisted 7 times and forwarded 57 key passes. Also, he has won 41 tackles on the field. These stats clearly point out that not only has Sanchez contributed to his team as a good attacker; he has also worked extremely hard. Alexis Sanchez has been the best midfielder in the Premier League so far.

2. Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea)

Another Barcelona star, who became out of favour at the club and thus left in the summer.  Jose Mourinho was the first one to approach the Spaniard and roped him for a decent transfer fee. People were a little skeptical of Fabregas’ form as he failed to leave a mark at the Spanish club. Cesc Fabregas proved everybody wrong and blossomed in his new club from the very first game. He has provided the maximum number of assists in the Premier League, 16, much more than any other midfielder. He has generated 60 key passes and won 59 tackles. He generally operates from the central midfield position in Chelsea’s 4-2-3-1 formation. He has played a pivotal role for the league leaders and is one of the key reasons for Chelsea’s success this season.

3. Santi Cazorla (Arsenal)

Santi Cazorla is one of the most underrated players in the Arsenal squad. With Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez in the squad, Cazorla for obvious reasons does not get the attention. Santi Cazorla silently does his job and contributes greatly to Arsenal’s successful campaigns season after season. Cazorla is a versatile player and can be utilized in any position in the midfield. Santi Cazorla has provided 8 assists so far in the league. He has converted 55 key passes, scored 7 goals and also won 42 tackles. A player of all round ability, Santi Cazorla is one of the best performers in the Premier League in the midfield position.

4. Jordan Henderson (Liverpool)

Jordan Henderson is tipped to be the next captain of Liverpool FC after Steven Gerrard leaves next summer. Henderson has been performing consistently well for quite a few seasons and has grown to be one of the best central midfielders in the country. Jordan Henderson has provided 7 assists in this season so far. He has also scored 5 crucial goals and generated 39 key passes. Being a central midfielder, it is also his responsibility to act in a pivotal role in front of the central defenders and block the opponent’s attackers. Henderson has won 48 tackles so far.
