Matz Sels (Nottingham Forest): He was excellent. He made a few saves and has been good all season. He’s starting to get more credit now.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham) and Pervis Estupinan (Brighton): Both full-backs were solid and kept clean sheets. The pair were also probably one of the best attacking threats for their team.

Murillo (Nottingham Forest) and Calvin Bassey (Fulham): Solid again. Murillo kept a clean sheet and Bassey would have had one if not for a wonderful goal from Cole Palmer. Both were wonderful and instrumental to their teams getting victories.

Curtis Jones (Liverpool): One hundred league appearances is excellent for such a young man. I was at this game and he was brilliant in terms of running the games, tackles and getting his goal.

Joelinton (Newcastle): He is a beast of a man. If you remember he was actually bought as a number nine. How silly were they? He is a centre-midfielder and has been excellent in Newcastle’s rise for the past four weeks. He’s in the team for the first time this season.

Matheus Cunha (Wolves): Back-to-back weeks he’s my number 10. Wolves’ best player by a country mile, he scored past a very poor Manchester United team – but we all know that anyway. If you score from a corner you’re getting in the team of the week.

Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) and Anthony Gordon (Newcastle): Both these players were excellent and dynamic. They drove their teams forward and both scored. They were both thorns in the opposition’s side and looking like the players we know they can be.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle): Back again, the man, the myth, Mr Isak. He’s the best striker in the Premier League currently. Arsenal, just sign him and you’ll win the league, it’s really not that difficult.

Eddie Howe (Newcastle): He lost out on the England job and he’s the only English manager that realistically had a chance of getting it. So it’s good to see him doing well. We just need to see some more consistency.
