Top 5 Goal Scoring Midfielders in the Premier League this season

#4 David Silva (Manchester City)

David Silva is still the backbone of Manchester City

Goals Scored - 6

One of the most consistent performers of the Premier League for years now, David Silva has developed his game further this season, enabling City to cope with the injury to De Bruyne. The Spaniard has added another dimension to the game and has been playing a little deeper this time. He has played approximately 15 times as a central midfielder and 11 times as an attacking midfielder, a change from the system when he normally ventures forward in unison with De Bruyne.

However, Silva has still managed to score 6 goals so far and has also picked up 2 assists in the Premier League. He now has 9 goals and 6 assists from 26 games in all competitions, however, his goalscoring form has taken a dip in recent times.

The Spaniard has scored just 1 goal in his last 8 appearances in the Premier League, a period where he has also missed 2 games due to a hamstring injury. But David Silva remains the backbone of this City team and is one of the best Goal scoring midfielders this season.
