The pressure of playing for one of the big boys can get to anyone, or it could simply be down to injuries or a poor fit causing a star to underperform at a top club. Here is the most disappointing player at every Premier League Big Six club this season. Arsenal: Martin Odegaard The Arsenal captain is one of the best midfielders and playmakers in world football, and when he is healthy and at his best, he can really elevate this team. Problematically, Odegaard has not been healthy since the start of the 2024/25 season, and he has not been at his best in the biggest games. Viktor Gyokeres has been worse in terms of overall performance on the pitch, but his tactical impact on the team as a true No. 9 has been massive. Meanwhile, it is legitimately debatable if Odegaard has been any better...

Which Premier League Big Six coaches are on the hot seat? Which ones have the safest job security? Let's rank each club's manager in order of their likelihood of losing their jobs in 2026. 6. Igor Tudor, Tottenham Hotspur Igor Tudor is as good as gone as Tottenham Hotspur interim manager. The problems obviously go well beyond him, but Spurs have yet to win a game with Tudor, who, quite frankly, looks totally out of his depth at a Premier League Big Six club. 5. Michael Carrick, Manchester United If it were up to the Manchester United fans, Michael Carrick would stay on as the permanent manager of the club, no questions asked. He has turned around Man United's fortunes and made them immediately into Champions League contenders, and while the Newcastle defeat showed his weaknesses tactic...

Even the teams fighting for the Premier League title have that one superstar of the past they would do anything to bring back to make their team even stronger. For each of the Big Six clubs, here is one star player of the 2010s decade they would want to bring back the most to either shore up a key weakness or become a much better version of themselves. Arsenal: Alexis Sanchez Viktor Gyokeres isn't a world class striker, but he is better than what Arsenal had last season. Plus, Arsenal didn't have a truly transcendental striker in the 2010s like they did in the 2000s when they had many of them; they just had a few really good guys. But their best player in the last decade was Alexis Sanchez, who was a world-class left winger and neck and neck with Chelsea's Eden Hazard as the best play...

The English Premier League is obviously going to be dominated by players from both England and Europe as a whole, but this is a truly international league where players and fans from around the world come together. There is a great legacy of players outside of Europe in the Premier League like Didier Drogba and Sergio Aguero. Here are the best current Premier League stars from outside European nations who are starring for the top teams in the league's Big Six. Arsenal: Gabriel Magalhaes (Brazil) This one was easy. Gabriel Magalhaes is the best center back in the Premier League right now, though Marc Guehi is awfully close, and it's been about time that he received recognition for his quality from even the Premier League diehards. With all due respect to William Saliba, Gabriel is cut ...
