Top 5 English players in the Premier League this season

#1 James Milner

Bury v Liverpool - Pre-Season Friendly — Milner has been a creative force in the Reds midfield this season

Undoubtedly, the 32-year-old versatile player has been the best English player in the Premier League so far. He has two assists and a goal to his name so far, that too in a team having prolific attackers like Salah, Firminho and the current leading scorer Mane.

He has been an absolute engine in the midfield, covering more distance than any other Liverpool player so far. The number of passes made for Liverpool by him is only second to those made by defender Van Dijk.

Having announced his retirement from international football 2016, he won't play for the Three Lions again, but as things stand he has been the best English player in Premier League so far.
