Midfield
Jordan Henderson
Having featured in all but one of Liverpool's Premier League games this season, skipper Jordan Henderson has been a consistent performer and has spearheaded the Reds' title challenge this season. Tipped to be amongst the candidates for the PFA Player of the Year award, the 29-year-old is enjoying one of his best seasons in a Red shirt and has led by example, as Liverpool look unbeatable on their way to the title.
Aside from being a reliable presence in midfield and contributing to the defensive side of play, Henderson has registered 3 goals and 4 assists in the league this season, indicating that he has evolved as a player. The Liverpool captain is set to go down in the history books as the Reds look to cap off a stunning season with the Premier League title in May.
Jack Grealish
Despite Aston Villa's lacklustre season since returning to the top flight in the summer, Jack Grealish has been one of the standout performers of the current campaign and the Englishman has transformed as a player and looks like a complete players, as opposed to what was the case in his previous stint in the Premier League.
With 7 goals and 5 assists in the league this season, Grealish's attacking numbers from midfield make for impressive reading and the 24-year-old is blessed with incredible dribbling ability, as he's established himself as one of the best ball carriers in the country.
The Villa captain is being linked with big-money moves to Manchester United and Manchester City and is also in contention for the England squad, as Gareth Southgate aims to call him up for the European Championships later in the year.
Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin De Bruyne has arguably been the best player in the Premier League this season and the Belgian has single-handedly bailed Manchester City out when the others have blown hot and cold. Having chipped in with 7 goals and 16 assists in 24 appearances in the league this season, the 28-year-old is just 4 short of Thierry Henry's record-breaking assists tally from the 2002-03 and looks set to break the record in the coming weeks.
Hailed as the best attacking midfielder in world football, De Bruyne has done his reputation no harm this season and will look to continue his rich vein of form in the business end of tje current campaign.
