#7 Tottenham bank heavily on their fullbacks

Danny Rose
Danny Rose put in a superb performance

In a team with Hugo Lloris, Christian Eriksen, Harry Kane and Dele Alli, there are only two players the Tottenham can always count on. Kyle Walker and Danny Rose have always been brilliant for Spurs and the left back Danny Rose proved his class once again with a stunning goal to give his team the victory.

The left back's ability to pass the ball has been fantastic while his crossing has improved over time. He created the chance for Dele Alli’s equalised. On the other side, Kyle Walker is a major threat for the opponents – solid as a defender and threatening while he makes his lightning fast runs down the wing when they attack. Both players have been used very well by Mauricio Pochettino.


#8 Southampton are serious contenders for the Europa League

Southampton
Southampton: Not going away anytime soon

The Saints have always been one of the most consistent mid-table clubs of the Premier League ever since their promotion and have once again announced themselves as a prime favourite for the Europa League spots with a stunning victory over Bournemouth.

Despite losing out on yet another important player in Sadio Mane, Southampton has been brilliant this season and Charlie Austin's injury did very little to stop their fantastic form. Jay Rodriguez stepped in and scored two brilliant goals to give Southampton a 3-1 victory after trialling by a goal very early in the game.
