Who is the best midfielder in the Premier League? Heres what you think... Alli, meanwhile, registered his fifth assist of the season on Sunday, when he teed up Kieran Trippier, just 176 seconds after stepping off the bench. Alli has now had a hand in 11 goals in his last 14 Premier League games for Spurs (six goals, five assists). Ozil was also on the scoresheet at the weekend, taking his tally to four for the season. However, its in assists that the Arsenal man really stands out. He has recorded a Premier League-high 16 assists so far this season and created a remarkable 100 chances for his team-mates.Silva is also a top chance-creator, conjuring up 44 opportunities for Man City, and has been involved in 10 goals so far this season. David Silva shows off the defensive side of his game MIDFIELD STATSIts not all about those four star names, though. Many other midfielders have played their part in propelling Leicester, Tottenham, Arsenal and Man City into the top four.Here, we look at key categories and which names are the top performers among those four clubs…DEFENDING Defensive stats Player Team Tackles Interceptions NGolo Kante Leicester City 102 103 Fernandinho Man City 77 55 Mousa Dembele Tottenham 73 48 Daniel Drinkwater Leicester City 65 41 Eric Dier Tottenham 50 40 Leicesters NGolo Kantes stats set him apart among other defensive midfielders in the top four. The Frenchman is the only player in the Premier League to pass the 100 mark for tackles and interceptions so far this season. NGolo Kante has made over 100 tackles and over 100 interceptions PASSING Passing stats Player Team Successful passes Aaron Ramsey Arsenal 1228 Mesut Ozil Arsenal 1227 Yaya Toure Man City 1213 Fernandinho Man City 1140 Eric Dier Tottenham 1087 When it comes to passing, its Arsenal players to the fore. Aaron Ramsey has made 1,228 successful passes this season and his team-mate Mesut Ozil is just one behind. Only Man Citys Yaya Toure is close to matching their output. Aaron Ramsey is the Premier Leagues top passer And its an Arsenal player top of the top-four pile when it comes to passing accuracy, too. Francis Coquelin rarely gives the ball away and has completed 90.96 per cent of his attempted passes so far this season. His team-mate Santi Cazorla (90.33 per cent) is also in the top five, as are Man City duo Fernando (90.82) and Fernandinho (88.24). Passing accuracy Player Team Passing accuracy % (over 400 passes) Francis Coquelin Arsenal 90.96 Fernando Man City 90.82 Santi Cazorla Arsenal 90.33 Mousa Dembele Tottenham 89.28 Fernandinho Man City 88.24 GOALSCORING Leicesters Riyad Mahrez has 14 Premier League goals Goals Riyad Mahrez - 14 Dele Alli - 7 Kevin de Bruyne - 5 Yaya Toure - 5 Mesut Ozil - 4 Christian Eriksen - 4 Aaron Ramsey - 4 No top-four midfielder comes close to matching Riyad Mahrezs goal-scoring exploits this season. The Leicester ace has 14 to his name this season - only Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku and Mahrezs Leicester team-mate Jamie Vardy have more. The next-best among top-four midfielders is Tottenhams Dele Alli, with seven - which includes that wonder strike at Crystal Palace. Assists Mesut Ozil - 16 Riyad Mahrez - 10 Kevin de Bruyne - 9 Christian Eriksen - 8 David Silva - 8 Mesut Ozil is now just four assists away from matching Arsenal legend Thierry Henrys record Premier League assist total of 20 in a season. The Gunners star has been the standout playmaker in the top flight this term and his 100 chances created is well clear of second-placed Christian Eriksen.

Corey Davis doesnt often get to operate in the limelight, but he will be on the national television stage Tuesday, a day in which most Americans head to the polls.Best Receiver in the Nation isnt on the ballot, but the Western Michigan stars name would certainly be listed if that category was up for voting.Davis is 210 yards away from becoming the FBS career leader in receiving yards, and the Broncos look to remain unbeaten when they visit Kent State in Mid-American Conference play (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2).Davis has helped put Western Michigan (9-0, 5-0 MAC) in position to record 10 victories in a season for the first time in school history. The Broncos are one of five remaining unbeaten teams and are 14th in this weeks Associated Press poll.Davis is coming off a huge performance in which he caught 12 passes for a school-record 272 yards and three touchdowns in a 52-20 rout of Ball State last Tuesday in a nationally televised game. Broncos coach P.J. Fleck chided him for a couple of drops and said the performance could have better.He left a lot of meat on the bone as well, Fleck said. He could have had 340 or 350 yards.Still, Davis is a near-certainty to overtake Nevadas Trevor Insley (5,005 receiving yards from 1996-99) as the all-time leader with three regular-season games, the MAC title game and a bowl game left on Western Michigans docket.He leads the nation with 14 touchdown receptions, and his 47 career receiving scores are tied for the MAC record. He has caught 61 passes for 1,011 yards this season.Kent State (3-6, 2-3) is allowing 204.8 passing yards per game and will be aiming to slow Davis and a Western Michigan offense that ranks fifth nationally in scoring at 45.2 points per game.Each of the Golden Flashes three MAC losses came by four points. A major issue for Kent State has been the inability to hold on to fourth-quarter leads.You think about where you could be, Kent State coach Paul Haynes said. Its nothing to hang your head on. We are where we are. Its just making sure that we finish the right way.Kent State will be without a key defensive player, as senior free safety Nate Holley was suspended indefinitely after getting arraigned on a ffelony kidnapping charge.dddddddddddd Holley has 111 tackles and ranks second nationally in tackles per game (12.3).The Golden Flashes defense will have to rely more on senior outside linebacker Terence Waugh, a stellar pass rusher who has eight sacks.Kent State has one of the best defenses we face all year, Fleck said. We have to be way better than we ever have. Weve got a lot of things to clean up, on all three phases.On offense, Kent State will be hard-matched to keep up with the Broncos if lots of points are being put on the board.Junior Nick Holley, the twin brother of Nate, was moved to quarterback after a flurry of early-season injuries. The former running back has passed for 668 yards and three touchdowns against two interceptions while rushing for 775 yards and nine scores.Only one player has more than 200 receiving yards for Kent State, true freshman running back Justin Rankin with 301.Western Michigans edge in firepower runs deeper than the electrifying Davis. Senior quarterback Zach Terrell and junior running back Jarvion Franklin are also enjoying big campaigns.Terrell has 2,362 passing yards and 23 touchdowns and with just one interception. He ranks third in MAC history in passing yardage (10,933) and ninth with 86 touchdown passes.Franklin ranks fifth in Western Michigan history with 3,306 rushing yards, and his 38 rushing scores are one behind school record-holder Jerome Persell (1976-78). He has rushed for 1,018 yards and nine touchdowns this season.Junior weak-side linebacker Robert Spillane leads the Broncos with 79 tackles for a unit allowing 19.3 points per game. Senior defensive end Keion Adams has a team-leading 5.5 sacks.Western Michigan, which leads the series 33-20-1, is entering uncharted territory as it seeks its first-ever double-digit campaign. Fleck and the players insist that they arent feeling any pressure.We just worry about the next game, junior tight end Donnie Ernsberger said. The target does become bigger. We embrace it. We face the facts and go in there and prepare for the next team. ' ' '
