Man Utd have only one player in the Top 10, Paul Pogba. The French midfielder has seven successful assists, equal to Riyad Mahrez.
Besides Mahrez, Leicester City also has another player in the Top 10.Marc Albrighton. Having two effective passers goes some way to explaining why Leicester City have been so good recently.
Like Man Utd, four teams including Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal all have only one player in the Top 10. This is also the reason why these five candidates all lost to Man City in terms of goals.
Top 10 assist makers in the first half of the Premier League season:
1. De Bruyne, Man City, 9 successful assists
2. Silva and Sane, Man City, 8
3. Pogba (Man Utd) and Mahrez (Leicester City), 7
4. Albrighton (Leicester City), Alli (Tottenham), Coutinho (Liverpool), Ramsey (Arsenal) and Azpilicueta (Chelsea), 6
