4 most in-form midfielders in the Premier League right now (May 2023)
In the past, midfielders were mainly tasked with the responsibility of stabilizing the midfield. But it can be stated that in recent years, midfielders are now expected to offer a bit of help in attack.
In the Premier League, the job of a midfielder is not an easy one due to the fast and competitive nature of the league.
However, in the ongoing 2022-23 Premier League campaign, there are numerous midfielders that have decently established themselves in the league.
In this article, we will evaluate and rank the four most in-form Premier League midfielders right now.
Without further ado, let's look at them.
#4 Alexis Mac Allister (Brighton & Hove Albion)
When you talk about intuitive midfielders in the Premier League, one of the names that come to mind is Alexis Mac Allister. The Argentina international has shown that he's a formidable midfielder, especially in attack.
His attacking brilliance has seen him net 10 goals and register one assist in 32 league appearances this season. Similarly, he has created three big chances and he also has a pass completion rate of 87.4 percent, which is one of the best in the league.
His impressive run of form has put him on the radar of several big teams in the Premier League such as Liverpool and Manchester United.
#3 Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)
Arguably one of the most underrated and prospective midfielders currently in the Premier League, Eze is creative and his attacking agility is remarkable.
The Englishman has netted 10 goals and registered three assists in 36 appearances for Crystal Palace this season. Similarly, he has created five big chances and has registered a pass completion rate of 82.3 percent.
His ability to also stabilize the midfield and help the attackers in the final third is also remarkable. Hence, he deserves to be credited for his performance despite playing for an inconsistent team this season.
#2 Martin Odegaard (Arsenal)
The Norwegian is one of the brains behind Arsenal's impressive resurgence this season.
Odegaard has netted 15 goals and registered seven assists in 35 appearances for the Gunners this season. Similarly, he has created 14 big chances and has also registered a pass completion rate of 84 percent.
When you exempt Kevin De Bruyne from the league, it can arguably be stated that the Norwegian is the best midfielder. Despite Arsenal's Premier League title setback, Odegaard deserves to be credited for his performances in the ongoing 2022-23 campaign.
#1 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
The Belgian international is currently one of the best midfielders in the world and his creativity is second to none in the league. De Bruyne's attacking brilliance has seen him score seven goals and register 16 assists, which is the highest number of assists in the Premier League this season.
Similarly, he has created 31 big chances and registered a pass completion rate of 80.6 percent. The unique thing about De Bruyne is his ability to remain consistent for several years and his proficiency to remain consistent is what makes him better than several midfielders in the league and beyond.
