CHELSEA flop Hakim Ziyech is the Premier League player most prone to mistakes – and Manchester United’s Paul Pogba is second.
New research has shown which Premier League players are making the most errors and how often they’re making them.
Out-of-favour Blues playmaker Ziyech has the dubious honour of topping the gaffe charts, making a mistake once every 4.29 minutes.
United midfielder Pogba cocks up once every 4.37 minutes and has notched up a whopping 145 blunders already this season.
The study by BettingOdds.com sees Manchester City’s reliable Fernandinho also feature in the top ten, making a mistake once every 4.87 minutes.
The news will do little to reassure sceptical fans that Ziyech is up to the sky-high standards set by boss Thomas Tuchel.
The ex-Ajax man is being targeted for a loan move to Barcelona when the transfer window reopens in January.
He has struggled for minutes in the Premier League although he played the full 90 in Tuesday’s stunning 4-0 win over European rivals Juventus.

Pogba’s entry at second on the list may come as no surprise given the hot-and-cold nature of his performances.
The World Cup-winner was sent off in United’s 5-0 defeat by rivals Liverpool and then picked up a thigh injury that has kept him out since mid-November.
The 28-year-old is out of contract next summer and talks over a new deal have cooled at Old Trafford.
United bosses are reported to be lining up Barcelona youngster Frenkie de Jong if Pogba does leave, with a host of Europe’s heavyweights monitoring his situation.
