90min's Premier League midfielders power rankings.
England is no longer a land where box-to-box fiends rule. The era of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard is no more.
Still, that doesn't mean there's been a great reduction in quality. Anything but. Instead, the Premier League is home to a variety of midfield profiles each boasting their own unique brilliance.
The box-to-boxer does remain, only not as prevalent, with press resisters growing in prominence as of late given the desires of teams to win possession back high up the pitch.
This is a division home to some of the world's leading midfielders and here's how 90min ranks the ten best at the start of the 2024/25 campaign.
