Centre forward: Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal) - Making the most of his chances in Arsenal’s starting line-up and grabbed both goals against Leeds to put the Gunners in charge of their top four ambitions. EPA

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford (Everton) - Makes the XI for the second week in a row. After his heroics against Chelsea, Pickford was at it again at Leicester City, producing two superb saves from Harvey Barnes and Nampalys Mendy to help Everton secure another vital victory. Reuters

Left-back: Vitaliy Mykolenko (Everton) - Lashed home one of the goals of the season to give Everton the lead at Leicester. Mykolenko’s superb volley from the edge of the area could prove to be one of the most important goals of the season for his side. Reuters

Centre-back: Ben Davies (Tottenham) - Any of Davies, Eric Dier, or Cristian Romero could make this team following Tottenham’s fine defensive display at Liverpool. The Welsh defender gets the nod for his fine block on a goal-bound Mohamed Salah shot, which summed up his excellent performance. Getty

Centre-back: Conor Coady (Wolves) - With little to play for, Wolves have struggled for form in recent matches but that all changed in the final 10 minutes against Chelsea, with captain Coady popping up to score the equaliser in the last minute. Getty

Right-back: Marc Cucurella (Brighton): Shoehorned in at right-back in this XI, Cucurella is another player who makes the team two weeks running. The Brighton full-back was superb again against Manchester United, scoring the second goal in the 4-0 victory. AFP

Centre midfield: Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) - Ran the show as City thrashed Newcastle to take control of the title race. The Belgian may have had only one assist to show for his efforts but that doesn’t do justice to another dominant performance. Getty

Centre midfield: Emiliano Buendia (Aston Villa) - Set up the first and scored the second in Villa’s comfortable win at Burnley. Starting to show more regularly why Villa paid Norwich £38 million for his services last summer. Getty

Centre midfield: Said Benrahma (West Ham) - After the Europa League disappointment, West Ham bounced back in style with a comfortable win at Norwich. Benrahma was central to their performance with two goals. Getty

Left wing: Pascal Gross (Brighton) - Beyond scoring Brighton’s third goal, Gross was unplayable against Manchester United. His set-piece delivery threatened to cause even more damage to Ralf Rangnick’s struggling side. Getty

Right wing: Leandro Trossard (Brighton) - Ran Manchester United ragged and scored Brighton’s fourth after assisting their second and third goals. As poor as United were, Brighton were brilliant and Trossard spearheaded their display. Reuters
