Shot-stopper

Alphonse Areola (West Ham): The Hammers could have been six behind at Bournemouth without him. Key display, rose to the occasion and displayed some quality. Superb shot-stopping to help achieve a 2-2 draw. Defeat might have ruined their whole season.

Defensive unit

Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace): He's up there for season's best. Fans mention about Arsenal players. He has been the top performer without doubt.

Murillo (Nottingham Forest): It would take a wild optimist to say 'He scores and we'll beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield'. You'd have got massive odds on that. He performed brilliantly. He's becoming a force. He can really be a handful. I'm happy to observe his form as he did previously.

Malick Thiaw (Newcastle): I watched him multiple matches last year in Italy for AC Milan and he was getting killled from his faults. Yet now he's been a monster. He's been great strength and forceful and appears graceful. It appears he has discovered a perfect fit.

Ferdi Kadioglu (Brighton): Not typically a full-back, rather a modern type offensively. He's been a wonderful signing for Brighton. It's no shock at them discovering another star from obscurity? Many felt when they got rid of Pervis Estupinan it raised eyebrows but the club is aware better than most.

Midfielders

Sander Berge (Fulham) and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest): Alike in style and they're in for the same reason. Their sides were victorious, everyone will talk about the goalscorers, but without these two the squads falter. They excel. They disrupt opposition, they attack together.

Eberechi Eze (Arsenal): The man of the moment. Numerous supporters, such as family members, expressed skepticism if he could be the man to secure victory. Three strikes in the local rivalry and supporters now wish to make a statue of him. Finishing, poise, he dominated. The best player on the pitch.

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa): Maybe this is thing that I agree with Thomas Tuchel on - he is at a point now where it's going to be very difficult to bench him. I felt he began well the term, In my opinion he was a little bit entitled and thought he maybe have got a move to Chelsea, and probably wanted that, but he appears to have adapted well. A brilliant brace in the Leeds match dragged his team from behind. He made the impact.

Strikers

Callum Wilson (West Ham): I mentioned he appeared not his typical form. He looked like he was slower. But wow. Simply phenomenal. He performed superbly. Outstanding in his movement and in his dual goals.

Harvey Barnes (Newcastle): A really interesting player. He performs strongly, typically sharper when introduced, but Anthony Gordon has an injury so he has to play. He missed a key opening against Manchester City at 0-0 with his easiest shot. But to have the inner resilience to place himself into difficult situations and net two was remarkable.

Boss

Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest): He comes in and outperforms Arne Slot. A superb tactical approach. It might have been multiple goals for Forest and all would agree.
