The Premier League has some fine English youngsters and Callum Hudson-Odoi is one of them. The Chelsea forward initially struggled with game-time but has fought his way into the starting XI under Thomas Tuchel.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is sharp and a very lively player on the pitch. His versatility to play wide and centrally makes him a very valuable player for Chelsea. With more minutes under his belt, the Englishman has only gotten better and more effective in attack.

He can take on players with his fine dribbling and quick footwork and at the same time create opportunities for his teammates. Since the 2019-20 season, Callum Hudson-Odoi has created a clear chance every 184 minutes.

Pep Guardiola has a terrific squad at Manchester City and with that kind of depth, silverware is almost guaranteed. One of his key players is former Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez.

The Algerian has been important in Manchester City's success so far under Guardiola. With his amazing footwork and mind-boggling dribbling skills, Mahrez likes to cut inside from the right flank to create or score goals. His ability to beat defenders makes him difficult to handle when on song.

Despite not starting that regularly, Mahrez is quite effective in creating chances. Since the 2019-20 season, the Algerian winger has created a big chance every 144 minutes.


#1 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

There are plenty of quality midfielders in the Premier League but not many ooze the class like Kevin De Bruyne does. The Belgian has been scintillating for Manchester City, creating chances for them on a regular basis.

Kevin De Bruyne has a phenomenal passing range and vision and more importantly, he has the perfect technique to execute those defence-piercing passes. On his day, the former Chelsea midfielder can rip apart the opposition's backline with his playmaking abilities.

The 30-year old had a brilliant 2019-20 season where he recorded 20 assists in the Premier League. Since the start of that season, Kevin De Bruyne has created chances every 94 minutes to date. It's like creating a clear-cut chance in almost every match, which is why he's one of the best midfielders in the world.
