This season's power rankings for every Nigerian player in the Premier League.
Check out our most recent power rankings of Nigerian players in the English Premier League.
Samuel Kalu Kalu did not make the Watford side that fought valiantly at Anfield, despite the fact that they were defeated 2-0 by Liverpool.
Balogun, Folarin
The Arsenal midfielder has been loaned to Middlesbrough till the end of the season.
Eberechi Eze is a character in the game Eberechi Eze
Patrick Vieira did not start the attacking midfielder despite Crystal Palace's relative ease in a 3-0 win against Champions League-chasing Arsenal.Eze's last Premier League appearance was against Chelsea on February 19, and he has now been an unused substitute in five games in a row.
Etebo, Peter
The all-action midfielder, like Kalu, was left out of the Hornets' squad for the Liverpool defeat.
William Troost-Ekong did not play for Watford in their defeat to Liverpool on Merseyside.
Watford's last game for the centre-back was on New Year's Day.
Chukwuemeka, Carney
During the international break, the midfielder scored twice and assisted on a goal for England U19s, but he was an unused substitute as Aston Villa chased the game at Wolverhampton Wanderers, which ended 2-1 to the hosts.Onyeka, Frank
The midfielder was absent from Brentford's squad for their impressive 4-1 hammering of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
It was the first time the Bees had won this game since 1939.
Lookman, Ademola
In Leicester City's 1-1 draw with Manchester United, Lookman was an unused substitute.
Alex Iwobi is a Nigerian footballer who plays for the
While some may claim that Iwobi benefits from the lack of activity in front of him, as it was the attacking midfielder's error that led to West Ham United's 2-1 triumph over Everton on Sunday, he performed admirably at the London Stadium.Everton's second penalty of the night came after he slipped Vitaliy Mykolenko into a dangerous position inside the box during the Toffees' defeat to Burnley on Thursday.
In both games, a total of seven shot-creating actions outranks any Everton teammate, and the tendency to be positive in possession was striking. The Super Eagles' West Ham mistake, on the other hand, remains a blemish on an otherwise decent-to-good couple of games.
Dennis, Emmanuel
Dennis was benched during Watford's 2-0 loss to Liverpool, with Roy Hodgson not bringing the Nigerian forward into the game until the 78th minute.Over the course of 12 minutes, he only had five touches of the ball, lost possession twice, and failed to finish two dribbles.
Dennis has dropped a notch in our rankings.
With nine minutes remaining, Andre Marriner chalked off what could have been a James Maddison winner. Kelechi Iheanacho 'Seniorman' netted his first headed goal of the season at Old Trafford and could have set up Leicester's winner.
Dennis is replaced by Iheanacho, who has failed to score in his last six games.Wilfred Ndidi is a Nigerian politician.
The injured midfielder did not play in the 1-1 draw between Leicester City and Manchester United. He maintains his position, but for how long?
Michael Olise is a writer and a musician.

He is expected to return for the South London club's match against Leicester on Sunday.
