Arsenal’s Ozil 10th & Liverpool ace 7th in Premier League passing table

8) Angel Rangel – Swansea – 64.5 passes per match

The only defender on the list, the ageing right-back fits into Swansea’s passing brand of football perfectly because of his technical ability and composure on the ball.

7) Steven Gerrard – Liverpool – 65.3 passes per match

Gerrard’s played most of his passes from deep in midfield. The Reds skipper is comfortable playing zipped balls into players alongside him or more ambitious longer balls to Liverpool’s attackers.
