Sergio Busquets may never be the same player he was during his prime years at Barcelona, but the Spanish midfielder appears to have regained much of his confidence and form following Xavi Hernandez's appointment as Barcelona's Head Coach a few months ago.
9.Partey, Thomas (Arsenal)
After a disappointing first season at the Emirates, Thomas Partey appears to be living up to his £45 million price tag at Arsenal this season.
8.Aurelien Tchouameni (AS Monaco)
Aurelien Tchouameni, who was a target for Manchester United and Chelsea last summer, is still one of the world's most sought-after defensive midfielders.
7.Marcelo Brozovic (Inter Milan)
Although Inter Milan has had a largely inconsistent season, one player who can be proud of his performances thus far is Marcelo Brozovic, who has been as excellent as ever in his defensive midfield role this season.
6.Declan Rice (West Ham)
Declan Rice has really matured for West Ham United this season; the Englishman has been in excellent form all season and is unquestionably one of the best defensive midfielders in the English Premier League at the moment.
5.Rodri (Manchester City)
Rodri has undoubtedly been one of the many reasons why Manchester City are still in contention for a treble this season.
4.Ngolo Kante (Chelsea)

Fabinho has progressed from the shaky and indecisive figure he cut during his first season at Liverpool.
2.Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich)

1) Casemiro's (Real Madrid)
No. 1 on our list is Real Madrid's Casemiro, who has proven to be one of his team's most players reliable players so far this season.
