Mark Flekken (Brentford): Made some really important stops in that victory against Bournemouth. He is a really good goalkeeper that is growing week by week.

Defenders banner

Jake O'Brien (Everton): He doesn't get much credit but, for a young man to go in at Everton, having never played much under Sean Dyche and then deliver the performances he has been doing week in and week out has been excellent. He gets the equaliser, which was huge for him and for Everton and keeps their unbeaten run going.

Matthijs de Ligt (Manchester United): Growing more and more as a leader in this Man Utd team. Not many would have remembered it, but at 1-0 there was a massive block that he makes and it keeps Man Utd winning. No airs, no graces, he just gets the job done.

Calvin Bassey (Fulham): He doesn't get as much credit as Joachim Andersen next to him, but he was bullish, strong, solid in the tackle and epitomised that Fulham team.

Pervis Estupinan (Brighton): He scored a great free-kick against Man City, and was also excellent attacking in that game, getting past the Man City players at will. He was excellent.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): A key part to how Man Utd are playing. Fernandes gets more credit for his assists and goals, two assists and a goal obviously, and as this Man Utd team gets better so will he.

Christian Norgaard (Brentford): He keeps chipping in with important goals but he is the heartbeat of this Brentford team. He keeps the ball moving really, really well. Nothing special but everything he does is of a really high quality.

Omar Marmoush (Manchester City): Not just at the end of this season but for next season as well, he is going to be really important for how the new Manchester City team plays. He has dynamism, he can run, he can shoot, he can go past people and he also has that assured confidence/ arrogance that says "I am the governor, give me the ball". That shirt won't be too big for him and he will only get better and better.

Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United): He scored his first goal for 24 games against Leicester and the way he finished showed his pitch geography. He didn't look where he was, made pure contact. He drove forward, got at the Leicester defenders a lot and showed his commitment to the cause with his digging in.

Jorgen Strand Larsen (Wolves): He scored two goals and I really think there is a player in there. Wolves will be trying to get him to end the season well, not just for this season, but for next season as well. He was excellent and got Wolves virtually safe.

Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest): How Man Utd will wish they had kept this player. He has been exceptional for Nottingham Forest. Two wonderful goals, both completely different, and you are seeing a young man that has confidence and a self belief. He has had a difficult journey, being rejected by Man Utd, but has picked himself back up, no complaining, no sulking, and has just gone out and showed what a good player he really is.

Manager banner

Vitor Pereira (Wolves): When he came in, I wasn't sure he would be able to get them playing how he wanted. But he has implemented the style, got them fitter, got them sharper and much more organised. He has also kept them safe and has been excellent since he came in.
