Eden Hazard

Chelsea playmaker and midfield maestro Eden Hazard is back to his best. West Brom could deal with everybody but the Belgian. He was simply unplayable on Saturday.

He scored twice to help the Blues win 4-0 away from home. Chelsea’s first goal which was scored by Alvaro Morata was a rebound from a venomous shot by Hazard. He is the man who will take all the stopping this season. He was threading passes, taking on defenders, turning them at his will and creating havoc.

Goals: 2

Assists: 1

Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is so far, the best Premier League signing. He is scoring goals for fun and he is not even fighting so hard to get them in the net. This weekend he netted two against Southampton at Anfield to take his Reds tally to 14 goals.

Klopp’s and Liverpool’s style of play allows him to use his prowess and give nightmares to the defenders. He has been phenomenal and it will be hard to give him quiet for other teams as well.

Goals: 2

Paul Pogba

The mercurial Manchester United midfield boss is back and how. United were trailing by a goal against Newcastle United at old Trafford and Pogba stepped up to show his class.

He assisted Anthony Martial equalizer and scored one for himself to announce his return. He makes this list because he produced a great performance. He had a pass success of 84% and produced three saves from Elliot. He was the Man of the Match.

Alexis Sanchez

This weekend saw Arsenal take on Tottenham in the North London Derby at the Emirates Stadium. Both sides needed players to step up and embrace the stage. Sanchez produced one of his best performances of the season until now and Spurs had no answer.

He bamboozled the Spurs defence and was a constant threat along side Mesut Ozil who also produced a memorable show both offensively and defensively. The trio of Alexis, Ozil and Lacazette is clicking and Wenger will need them to be on top of their game if they want to challenge the teams above them.

Goals: 1

Callum Wilson

There is a lot of talk about Zlatan returning but we should never forget that Wilson did two ACLs. Wilson was side-lined for nine months by serious knee ligament damage suffered in January, having recovered from a similar problem sustained in September 2015. He hadn’t scored since January 3, 2017 and was almost written off by pundits.

Come November 19, 2017, Wilson became the First Englishman to score a hattrick in the Premier League season. People also see him in the National Side if he stays injury-free. He inspired a 10-man Bournemouth to a 4-0 rout of Huddersfield.

Wilson Likes to play short passes and dribble the ball which was evident in the match against Huddersfield. He will be on our watchlist for the coming gameweeks!
