Stats courtesy of Squawka.
10) Dusan Tadic, Southampton
The summer signing has been in great form for the Saints during their unbelievable start to the season. He will want to continue it if they are going to seriously challenge for the top four.
9) Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal
The Chilean has been almost single handedly carrying the Gunners this campaign. His performances have meant that they are still in reach of the top four, as well as still in the Champions League despite some dreadful showings from the rest of the team.
8) Jose Fonte, Southampton
Another key part of Ronald Koeman’s side’s great form over the last few months, Fonte has meant that Dejan Lovren has not been missed at St. Mary’s.
7) Ki Sung-Yueng, Swansea City
The South Korean has been vital for the Swans. A name that you would not have expected to have seen in the top ten best players in the Premier League.
6) Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea
The Spaniard has turned Chelsea’s midfield in to a unit that is feared by the rest of the division.
5) Christian Eriksen, Tottenham
The Dane is thought of as Spurs’ most creative player, but he actually has five goals and no assists so far this season.
4) Stewart Downing, West Ham
The winger has had a surprisingly good season, resulting in a recall to the England set up. He will need to keep it up if the Hammers want to stay near the top of the league like they currently are.
3) Yaya Toure, Manchester City
Despite the murmurings that he has been one of the main reasons that the Sky Blues have been off the pace in Premier League title race, the Ivorian has actually statistically been one of their best players.
2) Eden Hazard, Chelsea
The midfielder has been in fine form for the Stamford Bridge outfit. His play has been important in the Blues’ unbeaten start to the season.
1) Sergio Aguero, Manchester City
The Argentine has been brilliant so far, with his goals keeping the Citizens going. Twelve goals in thirteen appearances is no mean feat.
