#3 Thiago Alcantara - Bayern Munich/Liverpool
Although Thiago has been injured for the majority of his spell at Liverpool, he claims the #3 spot on this list on the back of his stunning performances for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League last season.
The 29-year-old Spaniard was arguably the best midfielder in the Champions League last season and his amazing performances even earned him a place in the 11 man FIFA Best Men's Player of the Year award shortlist.
With the talented Spaniard edging ever closer to a return, Liverpool fans will be eagerly waiting to see some Thiago magic on the pitch in 2021.
#2 Bruno Fernandes - Manchester United
Bruno Fernandes has undoubtedly been Manchester United's greatest signing in the post Sir Alex Ferguson era. The Portuguese superstar has put in some talismanic performances for the Red Devils and has started this season in blistering form.
Having scored 10 goals and assisted a further 6 already in the Premier League this season, Bruno Fernandes has almost singlehandedly kept Manchester United relevant in the Premier League title race.
Capable of scoring stunning goals and setting up teammates with equal ease, Fernandes will be hoping to continue his good form and inspire Manchester United to a trophy in the 2020/21 season.
#1 Kevin De Bruyne - Manchester City
Arguably Manchester City's most important player, Kevin De Bruyne continues to be at the heart of everything good for Pep Guardiola's side. While the Belgian has fallen away slightly this season, there is no denying the class and talent the 29-year-old superstar possesses.
De Bruyne already has 7 assists in the Premier League campaign this year and it only seems like a matter of time before he hits top form once again in this campaign.
Supremely skilled on the ball and blessed with incredible striking ability with both feet, Kevin De Bruyne has undoubtedly been the best midfielder in 2020.
Honurable mentions: Toni Kroos, Leon Goretzka, Hakan Calahnoglu, Papu Gomez
