GOALKEEPER – David De Gea (Manchester United)
The Spanish goalkeeper kept Manchester United in this encounter as Arsenal pressed throughout Saturday’s clash at the Emirates. Behind a United defence weakened by Luke Shaw being forced from the field, De Gea was forced to make eight saves for United before the Red Devils struck Arsenal with two sucker-punches.
DEFENDER – Tony Hibbert (Everton)
Hibbert did the job as Everton’s defence continues to grow into the season following some early wobbles. Hibbert even had the opportunity to have a shot on goal as the Toffees proved too good for West Ham, while helping his side successfully defend five corners.
DEFENDER – Jason Shackell (Burnley)
The Burnley skipper led from the front as he helped the Clarets to their first away win in the Premier League since April 2010. It may have been a rough season so far for Burnley, but the 31-year-old will go into next weekend having led his side to consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since 2009.
DEFENDER - Jose Fonte (Southampton)
For a second consecutive week, Fonte makes the team, despite Southampton conceding just their sixth goal of a superb campaign so far in Monday night’s 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
DEFENDER – Nathanial Clyne (Southampton)
Fonte is joined in the team by fellow Saint Nathanial Clyne as the Southampton back four restricted Aston Villa to a single shot on goal and just two corners.
MIDFIELDER – Yaya Toure (Manchester City)
Yaya Toure hasn’t been in the best of form so far this season for City but demonstrated he may be nearing his imposing best as he stormed into the box, evaded two tackles and finished off Swansea with a superbly taken winner on Saturday. It was the second consecutive match Toure has scored against the Welsh side.
MIDFIELDER – Leon Osman (Everton)
Playing in his 400th match for Everton on Saturday, Osman marked the occasion by finishing off a fantastic flowing move and scoring the winner for Roberto Martinez’s side. Osman has now scored twice in his last three games across all competitions after failing to find the back of the net in 17 previous appearances.
MIDFIELDER – Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea)
Fabregas has proven the king of the assist since crossing to Chelsea. The Spaniard supplied the cross that allowed Eden Hazard to score Chelsea’s second goal in a solid 2-0 win over 10-man West Brom on Saturday. Fabregas has now posted 10 assists in just 12 games this season, faster than any other player in a single Premier League campaign.
FORWARD – Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
Hazard is proving a Stamford Bridge specialist as his last nine goals have all been scored at home. He was on hand to convert Cesc Fabregas’ cross in Saturday’s win over West Brom, although his scuffed effort probably won’t make too many highlight reels.
FORWARD – Christian Eriksen (Tottenham)
Spurs may have dominated this encounter – their 73.3% share of possession being the club’s highest in a Premier league game this term – but they still left it late, with Eriksen supplying a 90th-minute winner for the London outfit.
FORWARD- Stevan Jovetic (Manchester City)
Stevan Jovetic also likes making an impact at home as he scored the equaliser after City went behind in their 2-1 win over Swansea on Saturday. Jovetic latched onto Jesus Navas’ cross to chip the ball home to have eight of his last nine goals scored at home.
