CF: Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City): After laying on the assist for Maddison to score Leicester’s second against Spurs, the Nigerian striker grabbed the third with an excellent low finish.

PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM OF THE WEEK: GK: Vicente Guaita (Crystal Palace): The Spanish stopper kept Palace in the game against Brighton and earned his side a valuable, and barely deserved, point with his stunning save on Kaoru Mitoma. Getty
RB: Reece James (Chelsea): The fullback’s first full 90 minutes since returning from a second knee injury, and how Chelsea have missed his presence in the team. The Blues are still struggling for wins but were improved against West Ham, with James playing his part. Getty

CB: Craig Dawson (Wolves): A January signing from West Ham, Dawson has slotted seamlessly into the Wolves team and already elevated the backline. A goal and a man down at Southampton, Wolves turned it around to win 2-1, with Dawson’s ability to lead the defence crucial. PA

CM: James Maddison (Leicester City): Leicester have roared back into form the last two games, the 4-2 win at Aston Villa followed by a 4-1 destruction of Tottenham. The key in the both games has been Maddison, the England midfielder scoring the second and assisting the fourth. PA
CM: Stefan Bajcetic (Liverpool): Big responsibility was handed to the 18-year-old in the Merseyside derby and he rose to the occasion. Bajcetic was the standout player at Anfield as Liverpool eased to a 2-0 win over Everton. Reuters
RW: Willian (Fulham): Forget the disappointing spell at Arsenal, this Willian looks closer to the Chelsea version. The Brazilian scored one of the goals of the weekend and was all class on the right flank. Getty
LW: Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City): It must be the second half of the season because once again Mahrez is coming into unstoppable form. The Algerian set up City’s first for Rodri in the 3-1 win against Aston Villa, before slotting home the third from the penalty spot. EPA
CF: Marcus Rashford (Manchester United): United struggled to find a breakthrough against Leeds, until Rashford popped up with 10 minutes to go. The England forward is having the season of his career. Reuters
