The season’s first Wonderkid Power Rankings spotlight teenagers making strides, with Lewis Miley, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Joshua King and Harrison Armstrong all prominent.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, a talented Croatian centre-back excelled on Sunday. His side won 4-0 against a depleted Aston Villa, and only one of his 112 touches was recorded as unsuccessful. He dominated in the air against Villa’s direct forays, threatened at set pieces and nearly scored from a tight angle after a corner.

At 5, Newcastle United’s Lewis Miley delivered a lively turn in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool, using the ball neatly and fashioning a couple of half-chances. His defensive work stood out too, with an important block and six turnovers as he harried Liverpool’s midfield.

At 4, Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly continued his strong start after impressing in the Community Shield win over Manchester City. Reports suggested Arsenal tried to move him on this summer, yet he looked composed here, circulating the ball quickly and breaking up Coventry attacks, posting four turnovers, one block and five wins from six one-on-ones.

At 3, Fulham’s Joshua King, 19, scored against Chelsea, sneaking one inside the near post after Robert Sánchez was caught out of position. Fortune played a part, but his high-tempo display drove much of Fulham’s best attacking work as he grows into a demanding role.

At 2, Everton’s Harrison Armstrong was all endeavour against Crystal Palace on Saturday. He made 11 turnovers and set up Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s opener after winning possession high up the pitch.
