SDOWNINGEnner Valencia and Diafra Sakho have been a revelation this season but Stewart Downing is emerging as the most influential Hammer  over the early games.

And since he was used in the diamond formation the guy has truly blossomed to the point where he is looking for and talking about an England recall.

A new set of stats from @EPL Statman proves the point as Downing now heads the list of players responsible for creating most Premier League chances this season.

Here’s the full list:

Downing 20

Fabregas 20

Cabella 17

Silva 16

Hazard 15

Sigurdsson 14

Sterling 14

Barton 13

Ramsey 13

Larsson 13

    I went against most when i voted him player of the month (August) i saw a reinvigorated player,a man out to prove a point.I thought he was good last year as well.To be honest i think every player has stepped up,because they know there is now competition for every position.But a good move by Sam to re-jig the system.Why not give Stuie a chance for England,not many better on current form,long may it continue.
