30) Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
An expensive gamble, Manchester City new-boy Raheem Sterling is an explosive young player still to reach his best form, but could still arguably be higher on this list.
29) Michael Carrick (Manchester United)
Still a vital part of how United play, Michael Carrick will be hoping to contribute more this season and keep fit on a more regular basis.
28) Jordan Henderson (Liverpool)
Liverpool’s new captain, Jordan Henderson has been a growing influence in this Reds squad and should now have one of his finest seasons.
27) Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea)
Undoubtedly a world class right-back, Branislav Ivanovic is a fans’ favourite for his superb box-to-box performances at Stamford Bridge.
26) Ander Herrera (Manchester United)
Hugely impressive in his first season at Old Trafford, Ander Herrera deserves to make it to 26th on this list.
25) Morgan Schneiderlin (Manchester United)
One of the best midfielders in the country last term, Morgan Schneiderlin should prove superb for United if he carries on where he left off for Southampton.
24) Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal)
A hugely underrated player in the Premier League, Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny should be set for another good season at the Emirates Stadium.
23) Juan Mata (Manchester United)
Close to replicating the fine form he showed at Chelsea, Juan Mata could have a very big season for Manchester United this year.
22) Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)
One of the best strikers in Europe when fit, Daniel Sturridge will be key for Liverpool this season if they get him back to his best in terms of fitness and confidence.
21) Oscar (Chelsea)
A major player in Chelsea’s title win last season, the Brazilian playmaker is a creative genius with the eye for the occasional spectacular goal.
