Power ranking every single Nigerian player in the Premier League so far this season

The wide attacker got minutes in Crystal Palace’s defeat by Everton the previous week but had to make do with being an unused substitute in the Eagles’ 1-0 win over Southampton.Ebiowei has featured in only two Premier League games this season, thus remaining in situ.

Malcolm Ebiowei

Ndidi returned to the Leicester City bench against Manchester City but played no part in the 1-0 defeat against Pep Guardiola’s men.The anchorman, whose last appearance for the Foxes came in early October, slides this week.

Wilfred Ndidi

The teenager did not feature in Chelsea’s 4-1 defeat by Brighton at the weekend, leading to this week’s drop.

Carney Chukwuemeka

Dennis remains in situ despite Nottingham Forest’s 5-0 thrashing at Arsenal at the Emirates.

Emmanuel Dennis

After a dim October in which he saw only 21 minutes of football, Iheanacho got a 20-minute cameo at the end of the month against old side Manchester City.‘Seniorman’ had an encouraging period against Pep Guardiola’s men and could have netted the equaliser (he shot at goal a couple of times) or set up the equaliser after picking out Patson Daka with a quality ball late on.The forward rises from second-bottom this week.

Kelechi Iheanacho

Onyeka keeps his position after an encouraging cameo in Brentford’s 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.The midfielder made a few interceptions for the Bees and looked to get involved after his introduction.

Frank Onyeka

Like Onyeka, Solanke remains in situ after playing 89 minutes in Bournemouth’s 3-2 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur.The forward was an injury doubt before the game but put in an acceptable showing at the Vitality Stadium, nonetheless.

Dominic Solanke

The centre-back was dropped for Fulham’s game with Everton despite a strong individual showing at Leeds United the previous week.Adarabioyo slides after missing out on the goalless encounter at Craven Cottage.

Tosin Adarabioyo

Awoniyi’s previous ascent to third is followed by this week’s drop after a tough afternoon at Arsenal.The striker huffed and puffed but was ultimately unable to have the desired impact in North London before his 64th-minute withdrawal.

Taiwo Awoniyi

Palace’s playmaker rises this week after a decent-to-good showing in the Eagles’ 1-0 success over Southampton.Olise always looked to be positive in possession and tried to make things happen in the final third before his late withdrawal.

Michael Olise

While Eze’s performance was not poor, he slides this week owing to Joe Aribo’s fine showing at Selhurst Park.The midfield man created two chances and shot at goal a few times to add to his team’s advantage in Crystal Palace’s 1-0 success over Southampton.

Eberechi Eze

Aribo may have been on the losing side, thus unable to prevent Patrick Vieira’s men from recording a third home win in succession, but his strong showing sees him replace Eze.The attacker was creative in South London and was quite unfortunate to not register his first assist of the campaign for the Saints.

Joe Aribo

Despite a somewhat subdued performance in Everton’s 0-0 stalemate with Fulham, Iwobi stays at the summit due to the absence of a storming performance from the chasing pack.The attacking midfielder just manages to stay in first place.

Alex Iwobi
