5 players who created the most big chances in the Premier League last season (2020-21)

#3 Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) | 14 big chances

Trent Alexander-Arnold was not at his very best for much of the 2020-21 Premier League campaign, but managed to register impressive numbers.

The 22-year-old made 34 Premier League starts last season, scoring two goals and providing seven assists. One of the best right-backs in the world, Alexander-Arnold has been key to Liverpool's success under Jurgen Klopp, and is seen by many as the future captain of the club.

An unfortunate injury saw the England international miss Euro 2020. A fit and firing Alexander-Arnold is a dangerous player, with his excellent passing and crossing ability crucial to Liverpool's style of play.

#2 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) | 19 big chances

It is frightening to imagine a Manchester City attack led by Harry Kane, with Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne as creators.

One of the best players in the world, Kevin De Bruyne has showcased continued excellence since joining Manchester City in 2015. A highly creative player, the Belgium international is the most important player in arguably the best club team in Europe.

De Bruyne made 23 Premier League starts last season, scoring six goals and providing 12 assists. He won the PFA Players' Player of the Year for his performances during the 2020-21 campaign. The 30-year-old recently signed a contract extension with Manchester City.

#1 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) | 20 big chances

Arguably the best midfielder in the Premier League last season, Bruno Fernandes is comfortably Manchester United's talisman.

The Portugal international has had a transformative impact since joining the club in January 2020 from Sporting CP. Many have compared his transfer to that of Eric Cantona. Nearly every Manchester United attack last season had the midfielder's involvement.

In 35 Premier League appearances, Fernandes scored 18 goals and provided 12 assists. The 26-year old is Manchester United's main creator, and without him the team do not look at their very best.
