#3 Graeme Le Saux (1995 Premier League winner) - 44
Graeme Le Saux is one of the best attacking defenders in the history of the Premier League.
In over 300 games in the competition for three different clubs, the 53-year-old made over 300 appearances, bagging 12 goals and 44 assists. He won his lone English top-flight title in 1994-95 with Blackburn Rovers, contributing three goals in that campaign.
The former left-back played his last game in the competition for Southampton in 2004-05.
#2 Andy Robertson (2020 Premier League winner) - 45
Andy Robertson is one of the finest full-backs in the game at the moment. The 27-year-old Scot has racked up over 200 appearances in the English top flight, bagging an impressive 50 goal contributions (six goals, 45 assists).
Together with his right-back colleague Trent Alexander-Arnold, Robertson forms one of the deadliest full-back duos in the game's history. Unsurprisingly, the two are key players at both ends of the field for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
The 27-year-old contributed two goals and 12 assists in Liverpool's triumphant 2019-20 league campaign - their first league win in 30 years. This season, Robertson has already notched up one goal and six assists.
#1 Leighton Baines - 53
Leighton Baines is one of the legendary full-backs to have graced the English top flight.
During an illustrious career spanning nearly two decades, the 37-year-old made over 400 appearances in the competition. He made nearly 100 goal contributions (32 goals, 53 assists) during this period, with most of them coming for Everton.
The former left-back is the only defender in the Premier League era to have registered over 50 assists in the competition. However, he is likely to be overtaken by the Liverpool duo of Robertson and Alexander-Arnold.
Baines retired from the game at the end of the 2019-20 season, but remains involved with Everton.
