England outcast James Maddison and Brentford striker Ivan Toney make the cut, with two Newcastle stars at the top of the list while Wilfried Zaha and Declan Rice miss out... but who else makes the top 10 performers outside the Premier League's 'Big Six'?

Erling Haaland, Luis Diaz, Gabriel Jesus, Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Thiago Silva.

All among the top performers in the Premier League this season. And all playing for sides in England's historic 'Big Six': Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea.

With most teams having played nine games so far this season, five of those traditional heavyweights make up the current top six, with Jurgen Klopp's Reds - down in 10th - the only side failing to live up to expectations.

But there are plenty of stars strutting their stuff further down the table, with James Maddison and Ivan Toney among the top 10 performing players outside the Big Six, according to recent statistics from SofaScore.
