Centre-midfielders
In the centre of the park, players from the promoted sides have really made their mark. Ruben Neves has proved why he is such hot property, and his partnership with Joao Moutinho is looking very good. At Fulham, Jean Michael Seri has reminded everyone why there was interest in him from the top clubs this summer.
Another man who has hit the ground running in the Premier League is Chelsea’s Jorginho, who also seems to have bought the best out of N’Golo Kante. It is perhaps the most experienced of the lot who has been the best though. James Milner remains a key cog in the Liverpool, despite the big money arrivals of Fabinho and Naby Keita, and he also equalled David Beckham on 80 assists in the Premier League era.
