Premier League 2018/19: Ranking the top 5 'Midfielder Trios' 

En
Which midfield trio carries the magic?

#3 Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Eric Dier - Tottenham Hotspur

<p>

With a brand new role in the team, Dele Alli is now evolving into an aggressive and natural attacking midfielder, having scored against Newcastle and delivering an unbiased performance against both Fulham and Manchester United, he doesn't do it all on his own.

With the minds of two of his 'world-class' teammates Eriksen and Eric Dier, being the midfield maestros of the current Spurs lineup, it is only getting better for this highly competitive team. Christian Eriksen rotates around the empty spaces like a kid in the candy store, as we saw against Manchester United, the Danish playmaker left no opportunities, working with both Keiran Trippier and Lucas Moura to utilize those gaps and creating some of the quality passes this season has devised.

A natural number 10, he pushes the game and fuses with Alli to develop an offensive playmaking approach. However, the two are still incomplete without the input given by their most skilled holding midfielder, Eric Dier; denying waves of attacks thrown by the opposition and being the link between both Alli and Eriksen, providing the kind of passes that the Spurs forwards look forward to.

The final stage of their attack, Harry Kane, who is the ultimate goal can only welcome the opportunities given to them by this deadly midfield trio. The season is long, and they aren't ready to give up at all!
