Kieran Trippier supremacy highlights Newcastle problem that James Maddison would solve

Kieran Trippier leads the way in chances created for Newcastle United this season but his St James' Park team-mates are lagging far behind in the same department. The right-back has proved to be a fine addition on Tyneside and is enjoying an impressive presence at both ends of the pitch for Eddie Howe.

Trippier has created more chances than any Premier League player except Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne (75) this season, with a tally of 70 to date. The England international is averaging 3.1 big chances created in top flight games this term.

The gulf to any of his fellow Newcastle team-mates is huge, with Joe Willock and Joelinton (19) closest, putting them joint 71st in the Premier League standings.
