Premier League 2018/19: Player of the month candidates for December

#1. Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Eden Hazard would be looking forward to becoming the first player to bag the Player of the month award twice this season.

Unlike others in this list, Eden Hazard has already bagged the Premier League player of the month award earlier this season. The prolific Belgian was the Premier League player of the month in September after scoring five goals in four matches in that month.

However, this time, it would be tougher for the Chelsea forward to win the award. Hazard has scored three goals in his seven appearances. He also provided for 5 more goals. Thus, he was involved in eight goals this month.

This stat is even more impressive since Chelsea has scored only 10 goals in December, ie, Hazard was involved in 80% of Chelsea's goals in December. Similar to West Ham United and Tottenham, Chelsea could only clinch 15 points out of the 21 on offer.

Hazard also completed the most number of dribbles this month with a tally of 22.
