10. Kyle Walker-Peters (New entry)

Two clean sheets on the spin have helped Southampton earn four points in their fight for survival.

Walker-Peters enjoyed a strong display at Old Trafford, having been tasked with shackling Marcus Rashford for the afternoon.

The full-back became more expansive after United were reduced to 10-men following Casemiro's red card.

Walker-Peters's dangerous cross nearly forced Scott McTominay to slash into his own net at the start of the second half, before he struck the post with a left footed drive from outside the box.

9. Gabriel Magalhaes (New entry) 

It was not long ago that Gabriel was viewed as the weak link in Arsenal's backline, but the Brazilian has proved a consistent performer for the Premier League leaders in recent weeks.

The centre-back has been dominant in Arsenal's box recently, but he also contributed at the other end against Fulham, with his towering header giving the Gunners an early lead.

Gabriel has been an important part of a defence that has keep three clean sheets in four games as Arsenal continue to maintain their five-point cushion over Manchester City at the top of the table.

8. Philip Billing (New entry)

Billing has risen to the big occasion in the last couple of weeks. 

The Danish midfielder stunned Arsenal by netting the Premier League's second fastest goal last weekend, albeit in what proved a dramatic late 3-2 defeat for the Cherries.

And he was on the scoresheet again at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, finishing off good work from Dango Ouattara to give the hosts the lead against Liverpool.

Bournemouth were able to hold onto their advantage on this occasion, with the three points giving their survival hopes a much needed boost.

Billing leads their goalscoring charts with six in the Premier League. The midfielder is set to play a vital role in their bid to escape the drop.

One week on from terrorising West Ham's defence, Kaoru Mitoma was causing problems for Leeds at Elland Road.

The Japanese international leapt impressively above Luke Ayling to assist Alexis Mac Allister's first half opener.
