8th – Jose Holebas (Watford)
The second Watford stalwart on the list, Holebas is a defensively competent left-back with a penchant for marauding runs forward, which has warranted great success for the team over the last four games. The veteran defender has more assists than any other player in the Premier League so far, setting up his teammates for glory on four occasions already.
WhoScored rating: 7.65
9th – Keiran Tripper (Tottenham)
Following on from his standout displays in Russia with England at the World Cup this summer, Trippier has successfully transferred his dynamic style and expert delivery skills back to club level with Spurs. With one assist and goal to his name already, the latter of which came via a trademark free-kick against Fulham, supporters can expect the 27-year-old defender to only improve as the season continues.
WhoScored rating: 7.64
10th James Milner (Liverpool)
Often described as the most reliable man in English football, Milner has once again been a fixture in Liverpool’s starting XI as Klopp’s side has secured four wins out of four. The tenacious midfielder has provided two assists and one goal for the team and impressed with his willingness to run combined with a workmanlike aggressive streak in the middle of the park.
