TOP TEN KEY PASSER IN EPL As much as the goal-scorers receive all the plaudits in matches, credit needs to be paid to those that provide the key passes to make those moments happen. So here are the 10 Premier League stars with the most key passes per match, with statistics courtesy of WhoScored. 10=. Wayne Rooney, Manchester United - 2 key passes per match The England international is the all-round forward, with not only the ability to score goals but also having the talent to drop deeper and help provide opportunities for others. 10=. Kevin Mirallas, Everton - 2 key passes per match Things have gone a little quieter for the Belgian of late but Mirallas was a key part of Roberto Martinezs revolution at Goodison Park this term and also has seven assists. 9=. Samir Nasri, Manchester City - 2.1 key passes per match It took some time for the Frenchman to really get going this campaign under Manuel Pellegrini, but Nasri is now regularly in the starting XI. 9=. Steven Gerrard, Liverpool - 2.1 key passes per match What a year it has been for the Reds captain, who also has 11 league goals in 2013/14 as the Merseysiders continue their realistic charge on the title. 7=. Willian, Chelsea - 2.2 key passes per match Many thought the Brazilan was going to be another expensive flop at Stamford Bridge after a £30m transfer from Anzhi Makhachkala last summer, but the winger has proven everyone wrong thanks to sheer hard work. 7=. Christian Eriksen, Tottenham Hotspur - 2.2 key passes per match Of all the new summer signings at White Hart Lane the only one who can be regarded as a genuine success is this talented attacking midfielder, who Spurs could do with building their future team around. 6. Moussa Sissoko, Newcastle United - 2.3 key passes per match The Magpies seem to do things in alternate seasons currently and this is one of their good ones in which Sissoko has played a key part and has five assists and three goals to date. 5. Robert Snodgrass, Norwich City - 2.4 key passes per match Its been a relatively tough year for the Canaries, which is against what many thought after making some big signings last summer, but in Snodgrass they possess a player with a keen eye for a pass. 4. Eden Hazard, Chelsea - 2.7 key passes per match After a brilliant first campaign in England in 2012/13 after a £32m switch from Lille, Hazard has managed to improve even more this time around and has been the Blues best player by far. 3. Luis Suarez, Liverpool - 2.8 key passes per match Yet if 2013/14 belongs to any one player then its this world-class Uruguayan, who as well as this has provided 11 assists and scored 28 league goals in just 26 appearances. 2. Mesut Ozil, Arsenal - 2.9 key passes per match Those that have been down on the club record £42.5m signing should perhaps take a look at this before judging the German too much as perhaps Ozil hasnt been as bad as many have made out. 1. David Silva, Manchester City - 3.5 key passes per match However, top of this list and its little surprise to see Silva when its considered the City star has provided more assists in the English top tier than any other player, since the Spaniard first arrived in the division back in 2010.
