Karl Darlow (Leeds): A wonderful goalkeeping performance from him against Brighton, who absolutely battered Leeds. Somehow - mainly because of Darlow - Leeds won the game.

Joe Rodon (Leeds): Part of a monstrous defensive display for Leeds. They kept a clean sheet - and how good have they been this season?

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool): Strange, I know, considering Liverpool conceded four, but he scored two goals when the team were all over the place.

William Saliba (Arsenal): Another big defensive performance. Arsenal were playing a poor Burnley team but he was one of the few who stayed professional throughout.

Jorrel Hato (Chelsea): His tackle on James Maddison potentially sent Spurs down. It was a huge, huge tackle from a young player who deserves more game time. Hopefully, he will get more chances under Xabi Alonso.

Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace): Not only does he score, he dictates play. However, that back-flip celebration was a bit weird. It felt like a 'thank you for everything, I am leaving' moment.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): I felt it wasn't his best game against Nottingham Forest, but when you get 20 assists during a Premier League season, you go in the team of the week.

Enzo le Fee (Sunderland): A goal and an assist against Everton. He has been a breath of fresh air. They had him in the Championship, and he has just got better.

Dango Ouattara (Brentford): Two goals against Crystal Palace... he has been in wonderful form. Brentford brought him in for plenty of money to replace Bryan Mbeumo, and he has been fantastic in his first season.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa): Watkins has come into good form in good time for the Europa League final, and also the World Cup.

William Osula (Newcastle): Osula has been unbelievable. When you look at Newcastle getting Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade, he was under the radar. Eddie Howe has trusted him, and he is kind of like Callum Wilson. He had two wonderful finishes against West Ham in a massive breakout season for him.

Mikel Arteta (Arsenal): It has to be Arteta. Not only this week, but every week he gets the job done when others keep falling short. Massive congratulations to him.
