Premier League 2018/19: The most dominant defensive midfielders of the current season

#4 Etienne Capoue - Watford

Capoue's brilliance as a defensive midfielder earned him a victory against the Spurs

With an unbelievable victory over the mighty Tottenham Hotspurs, the Hornets have laid down all sorts of questions in the minds of critics and analysts. Watford is now one of the legions who carry four wins in a row for the team. With veteran Javi Garcia applying the most unorthodox tactics in the minds of the Hornets, they now look forward to dominating the entire season with arms wide open. With an unusual formation of 4-2-2-2, playing two defensive midfielders, two central midfielders and two forwards, the Spaniard has proven a point in every aspect.

With the likes of Will Hughes and Pereyra being the natural midfielders for their team, Etienne Capoue has been the 'militia' in the deep-lying area. Combing with Abdoulaye Doucoure, the Frenchman is now becoming one of the most notified defensive midfielders in the league. Currently ranked third in the number of tackles completed, Capoue is an integral part of Garcia's 'newly formed' Watford team, as he is known for being the aggressor from the back line, building some of the important plays we have seen from the Watford side this season.

A natural box to box midfielder, Capoue's revelation is definitely a revolution for his current team.
