Leon Goretzka (Aston Villa): Although it was 4-4 in the end at Man Utd, Goretzka was a beast. He was calm under pressure and moved the ball really well as well. He obviously got a goal but his passing, movement and the ability to just be calm and handle every situation presented to him was really, really good.

Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool): How this guy has not got a new deal I don’t know. He keeps coming up big, high energy and he is vitally important to the way Liverpool play. When he is fit and available and firing on all cylinders it feels like they have a chance in this title race.

Enzo Le Fee (Sunderland): Where would Sunderland be without this guy? He has been good, he has been scoring, chipping in with big moments. Also his ability to take the ball when under pressure, take his side up the pitch and also have that little bit of innovative play and free thinking. He is exceptional.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton): Bossed the game for Everton against Coventry. Unbelievable goal but he absolutely bossed it. There was nothing more he could have done. Never gave the ball away, defensively he was solid. Attacking wise – goals and assists.
