Central midfield is arguably the most difficult position to play – especially in the Premier League, where players are given such little time on the ball.

In the breakneck pace of the modern game, players in the middle of the park must possess excellent ball control, passing and composure, as well as the ability to make the right decision at a split-second’s notice.

These four players can do all of these things to an incredibly high standard. In our opinion, these are the best central midfielders the Premier League has to offer – do you agree?
