#10 RB - Kieran Trippier (Tottenham Hotspur)

Trippier is both England's and Spurs' first-choice right back. He is often seen providing width down the flanks which allow the wingers to cut inside and support the front players. He also has a beautiful free kick in his locker which often finds the top right corner of the net.

When Spurs sold Walker to Manchester City, there was speculation whether Trippier would provide the same value as Kyle did for Tottenham over the years. However, much to the delight of the fans, he has not only filled Walker shoes but added a new dimension to the side.

#9 CB - Victor Lindelof (Manchester United)

The Red Devils might be struggling to find a solid defensive pairing, but one man who has stood up and cemented his place in the starting line-up is the Swedish International, Victor Lindelof.

Lindelof struggled to adjust in the Premier League last season. However, in the current campaign, he has showcased his ability and valued every penny that United paid to sign him from Benfica. The Swede sometimes struggles with aerial duels but makes up for it with his footwork and ball playing capabilities. Victor could stay at United for years to come provided he maintains his fitness and hard-working attitude.

#8 CB - Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham Hotspur)

If the summer transfer window went as planned for Manchester United, then Toby Alderweireld would have played for the Red Devils in this fixture. However, he is still a Tottenham Hotspur player whose job is to stop either Marcus Rashford or fellow countryman Romelu Lukaku up front.

Toby is another defender who likes to move up with the ball and dictate the play from the back. His partnership with Vertonghen is one of the eye-catching central defensive pairings in the League which has frustrated many top strikers.

#7 LB - Luke Shaw (Manchester United)

Luke has consistently performed well this season.

After struggling to find a consistent place in the side for the past couple of seasons, Luke Shaw has been a revelation this campaign. From the matchday one, he gave his hundred percent in every game despite all the negativities that surrounded the Old Trafford.

The England full-back got praised for his fighting spirit. He is gradually showing his class at Manchester United. Solskjaer appointment has given him further license to move forward which the left-back relishes.
