Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall leads the rest on chances created | OneFootball

No English player has created more chances in the Premier League so far this season than Everton’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (8).

Since his summer move, Everton’s new midfield maestro Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has wasted no time in making his mark on the Premier League. The former Chelsea man has quickly established himself as a key creative outlet for the Toffees, and his impact is reflected in the statistics.

After the opening three matches of the 2025-26 season, Dewsbury-Hall has created more chances than any other English player in the Premier League.

Dewsbury-Hall's ability to unlock defences has been on full display, with his passing range and vision proving to be a potent weapon in David Moyes’ new-look side. His performances have been a significant factor in Everton's strong start to the campaign, which has seen them secure two wins from their first three matches.

The 26-year-old’s impressive start is a testament to his creative talent and ability to influence games from midfield, and Toffees fans will be hoping he can maintain this form throughout the season as Everton look to build on their promising start.

He has already played more league minutes for the Toffees (270) than he did for Chelsea in the 2024-25 campaign (259), although he was mainly used by the Club World Cup Champions in their other competitions.

After leaving Dewsbury-Hall on the bench for the eventual win over Mansfield Town in the Carabao Cup, it will be interesting to see if David Moyes maintains the player's 100% appearance record in the Premier League so far this season as he approaches this weekend's massive game against Aston Villa at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.

Any team ideas for Saturday? I think Dibling will start, Ive got the dibs on that. No way a scoreless game, goals a plenty, hopefully all in the villa net. The way our defence has been playing though, I would say, three one or three two to us. I would love D M to try a false nine line up, we have the skill for our forwards to drift into that slot.

Gana and Ndiaye played the whole game on Tuesday against Congo. Gana was rested for the first international game. Ndiaye played both.

Would be nice seeing Dibling start.

At Villa, Digne played last Thursday, Cash played both and got injured, Tielemans both, Onana and Kamara seem injured, Rogers and Watkins played partly on Tuesday. Overall, we approach the game with better fitness levels, I believe.

Personally made up we managed to sign Dewsbury-Hall, I always admired his play when at Leicester. Of course he went to the players (mostly) graveyard at Chelsea.

Slightly off topic, but Chelsea have about 74 charges against them, which by all accounts will go unpunished, not unlike City whose charges have dragged on and on. We had a breach in PSR and got slammed twice?

How are we to survive in a bent, shark-infested pool?

We've definitely seen the dirty end of the stick, Derek, let's use this as motivation to beat the odds.

The imbalance in the Premier League can not now be reset, the clubs that enjoyed the spend-spend era are now so far ahead that their income is pretty much assured, and hence their books will balance with huge wages and transfer kitty.

But at last we can field a team that will compete and play attractive football — soccer mana from heaven.

Derek #5, we are not meant to survive.

In normal diplomatic circles, representatives from countries sit down with each other to discuss bilateral issues. For the Foreign office, this usually means the embassy staff, often the Ambassador as well, meeting their government counterparts locally.

A couple of years ago, just before Christmas 2023 I think - UK's representatives in UAE received items on the agenda from their counterparts - it included an item on City's 115 charges. It was dismissed as ineligible as it was not a government matter. It was tried again after the change in Government here, in a meeting with then-Foriegn Secretary David Lammy, in late 2024, and was again rebuffed on the grounds it is a Premier League matter.

So essentially, a foreign government was trying to influence the Premier League.

Chelsea are owned by Clearlake Capital. Newcastle are owned by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the "Public Investment Fund" - PIF. (Who also own half of their own Premier League teams - apparently FIFA has no issue).

Why do I raise this? The PIF are also invested into Clearlake Capital (amount unknown) and it has previously been suggested were trying to sign various players from Chelsea for PIF-owned teams in the Saudi Premier League, on terms that would be favourable to Chelsea (in terms of transfer fee).

So along with billionaires of dubious motivation, we now allegedly have nation states trying to influence the game - it's long since been a level playing field.

Ironically, one of the Premier League's strengths used to be its appeal as a competitive league - better than other European leagues which are dominated by one or two.

Good article Michael.

Dewsbury-Hall has been over shadowed news wise because Grealish has also been playing so well and is probably more newsworthy.I think it's a toss up which of the two proves the more valuable to us over the season.
