Andre (Wolves): Yes, he gets a goal to win the game against Liverpool on Tuesday, but he’s an enforcer. He had to dig in a lot with the Liverpool pressure, especially in the first half. He did a great job for the team. On the odd occasion, he was able to get forward – and he drove forward with pace and purpose, and he managed to nick a goal. He has been a huge part of the Wolves revival.
Declan Rice (Arsenal): Need I say anything else? Rice is the man who is always in the right area. The ball always breaks to him. It looks like he is tiring, but then he manages to do a lung-busting run. It was an excellent performance from Rice against Brighton. He controlled and dictated the field.
Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest): It was one of those performances that make you think he will probably be at Manchester City one day. The goal was a great hit, and he broke up play really well. He also manages to make 25 fouls a game, but never gets a card! I think he would be a good replacement for Rodri one day. If Manchester City cannot get Rodri back to the level he was fitness-wise, then they need Anderson next to him, or they move Rodri on and put Anderson in.
Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace): He plays forward and he assists goals. What separates him from other players in the Premier League is he plays one or two touches, and he plays forward more than anyone that I can think of. He is not afraid of making mistakes. His pass for Jorgen Strand Larsen’s goal in the 3-1 win at Tottenham on Thursday was lovely. His take on the half-turn and the ball in for Ismaila Sarr was fantastic too. I wonder whether Palace can keep him moving forward?
