The 2022-23 Premier League campaign is going strong, with a huge number of games having already been played in seven weeks of football action and with more in store.
Clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham have all found their rhythm quite early in the season. The trio are currently occupying the top of the standings.
The likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester City, among others, have all experienced shaky starts to the season.

Aside from the scorers, there are also a couple of players who have been the creative fulcrum for their respective teams this season. As such, this article will look at five players who have created the biggest chances.
#5 Bryan Mbeumo - Brentford - four big chances created
One player who doesn't really get much credit for his efforts in the Premier League is French winger Bryan Mbeumo.

Mbeumo has also been one of the standout players for Thomas Frank's team. The winger has so far created four big chances for his teammates a stat that currently puts him fifth in the league.

One Leicester City player who has been relatively decent despite a poor start to the 2022-23 campaign for the team is Youri Tielemans.
The Foxes are currently experiencing a disappointing Premier League campaign under Brendan Rogers. Leicester City are at the bottom of the standings with just one point from seven games.
Their poor form has had a negative effect on the players at the club. However, Belgian midfielder Tielemans is still pulling the strings from midfield for the Foxes.

One of the standout players for the Seagulls after seven games so far is German midfielder Pascal Groß, who is having an impressive campaign.
The 31-year-old player has already registered five goal contributions in the league. He has scored three goals and provided two assists for his teammates.
Groß is also currently the second-highest big-chance creator in the league after seven games. The German has provided five big chances for his Brighton teammates.
#1 Kevin De Bruyne - Manchester City - eight big chances

The 31-year-old player has already registered nine goal contributions across all competitions this season, with seven coming in the Premier League.
Haaland's presence in the Manchester City team also gives the likes of De Bruyne the opportunity to showcase his creative instincts. This is visible with the Belgian already registering six league assists.
