Here are the top five midfielders of 2014 by how many goals they have scored.
5) Juan Mata, Manchester United, 11 goals
Since the Spaniard has signed for the Red Devils he hasn’t quite hit the heights he did while at Chelsea, but he has still been playing fairly well.
=3) Eden Hazard, Chelsea, 12 goals
The winger is regarded as one of the best players in the league and this stat shows why this is so. He is now part of a Chelsea side which has started the season brilliantly and is lying in first place at the moment.
=3) Christian Eriksen, Tottenham, 12 goals
The Dane has been in great form so far this season, and his goals reflect this. He has been a bright spot in a stuttering start to the season for Spurs.
2) Steven Gerrard, Liverpool, 13 goals
The Liverpool captain has scored most of these from set pieces, and his ability in dead ball situations has been vital to the Reds getting what they can while playing poorly. Towards the end of last season he was a key part of the side that so nearly won the league.
1) Yaya Toure, Manchester City, 15 goals
The Ivorian may not be in the best of form at the moment, but he has been key for the Sky Blues throughout the calendar year. His goals drove them to the Premier League title last season.
