10. Santi Cazorla, Arsenal – 20 key passes
The Spain international may have had a slow start to the campaign, but with fellow playmaker Mesut Ozil out injured he has a chance to make an impression on the Gunners team.
9. Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal – 21 key passes
Another from the Emirates Stadium now and a forward who has greatly impressed following a £35m summer transfer from FC Barcelona.
8. Leighton Baines, Everton – 22 key passes
After a disappointing 2014 World Cup the left-back is back to his creative ways and has also contributed two goals and six assists already.
4=. Raheem Sterling, Liverpool – 23 key passes
Despite the fact many think Sterling has had a quiet start to the season the 19-year-old is still among the most creative player in the entire division.
4=. James Milner, Manchester City – 23 key passes
Now in the final year of his current contract at the Etihad Stadium the England international is proving his worth to manager Manuel Pellegrini.
4=. Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea – 23 key passes
Little surprise to see this midfielder on the list with Fabregas also making the move from Barca this summer and the 27-year-old also leads the assist charts with nine.
4=. Angel di Maria, Manchester United – 23 key passes
Another who made the switch from La Liga to English football and since becoming the most expensive player in British history at £59.7m the Argentine has greatly impressed.
3. Steven Gerrard, Liverpool – 24 key passes
Like Sterling the fact that the Reds have been struggling means Gerrard has been thought of as poor, although from his deeplying role the captain is still clearly an excellent passer of the ball.
2. Dusan Tadic, Southampton – 29 key passes
Many thought the Saints would struggle following the summer departure of five key players and the manager, but new boss Ronald Koeman has bought well including the addition of this excellent winger.
1. Stewart Downing, West Ham United – 30 key passes
Yet leading the way is a 30-year-old considered to be a flop at Anfield and yet as a No.10 in Sam Allardyce’s new system is blossoming and has even earned a recall to the England squad as a result.
