10) Paddy McNair (Manchester United)
A promising young defender, Paddy McNair has found himself thrust into the first-team this season, but is perhaps playing too much too soon.
9) Hector Bellerin (Arsenal)
Another player drafted in due to injuries, Hector Bellerin has shown some potential but may not quite be ready to be a regular for Arsenal.
8) Gedion Zelalem (Arsenal)
An intelligent midfield player rated very highly by Arsenal, even if he remains some way from first-team action at the moment.
7) James Wilson (Manchester United)
A strong young striker edging closer to the United first-team after impressing in the club’s youth ranks.
6) Tyler Blackett (Manchester United)
A defender with a bright future, Tyler Blackett has been unfortunate to be thrust into the first-team a little ahead of schedule, but has put in some assured displays.
5) Serge Gnabry (Arsenal)
Given some chances to impress last season, German winger Serge Gnabry looks a real talent who is perhaps unfortunate to have so much competition ahead of him at the moment.
4) Luke Shaw (Manchester United)
Despite a slow start since his move from Southampton, Luke Shaw was brought to United for big money due to his tremendous potential, having impressed at the Saints since becoming a regular at the age of just 17.
3) Calum Chambers (Arsenal)
Arguably just ahead of his former Southampton team-mate, Arsenal’s Calum Chambers looks an extremely promising defender at either centre-back or right-back after a great start to life in north London.
2) Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal)
Still only 21, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is definitely one of the more seasoned and experienced players in this list, having become a regular for Arsenal when he was a teenager, and he has tremendous potential if he can put his injury problems behind him.
1) Adnan Januzaj (Manchester United)
Surely the most exciting prospect at either club, Adnan Januzaj is suffering a little bit from second season syndrome at Old Trafford this season, but is an outstanding young talent.
