Balbuena's 30th-minute header from the centre of the box helped West Ham United snatch a point from the Foxes. Balbuena's defensive quality and attacking mindset were impressive.
Centre back: Nathan Aké
Nathan Ake is one of the solid defenders of this week. His defensive mindset helped Bournemouth to keep a clean sheet against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
This year, Fulham have impressed with their offensive style of football. This week, however, their main striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was kept quiet by Ake.
He showed his defensive leadership quality and helped his team to a clean sheet. He is the man who completed the most passes in Bournemouth team and that's why he deserves a place in this XI.
Left-back: Marcos Alonso
Marcos Alonso is one of the best PL full-backs of recent times. His attacking quality is as strong as his defensive quality.
Under Chelsea's previous manager Antonio Conte, Alonso played as a left midfielder which has now helped him adapt to the left-back position under Maurizio Sarri.
This weekend Alonso again proved why he is one of the main players at Chelsea. He provided an assist for the goal of Chelsea's new star, Ruben Loftus-Cheek. He also helped his team to a clean sheet.
Right-back: Bruno

Sadio Mane

His partnership with his Egyptian international Mohammed Salah helped the home side wreak havoc against the club from Wales.
Ross Barkley
Though Barkley is an attacking midfielder, he showed at this weekend that he could play in both attacking and defending roles. His attractive style has made him one of the most important midfielders in Sarri's squad.
He was at his best against a strong Burnley side at Turf Moor. He scored once and provided two assists in the game.
Ryan Fraser
Ryan Fraser showed again why he is rated so highly in Scotland. He provided two assists in the Bournemouth's 3-0 victory against Fulham.
Fraser's speed made him very difficult for Fulham to deal with on the weekend. His presence of mind and pressure-soaking attitude helped his team grab those 3 points away from home at Craven Cottage.
Forwards:
Anthony Martial
Anthony Martial is in a great form at the moment. He not only scored a superb goal against Everton at Old Trafford but also drew a foul inside the penalty box with his crazy footwork.
His skills, speed and fighting attitude helped Manchester United take three easy points against the Toffees. Manchester United are in the eighth position in the league table with 17 points at the moment.
Callum Wilson
The partnership between Fraser and Callum Wilson helped AFC Bournemouth add another 3 points to their tally. This weekend, Wilson scored twice against ten-man Fulham at Craven Cottage.
His speed forced Fulham's defence into big mistakes and Wilson only the chances they provided him with. He showed why he is one of the most reliable strikers in the Premier League this season.
Mohamed Salah
Fifa Puskas Award 2018 winner Salah impressed one and all with his performance against Cardiff City at Anfield Stadium. He scored once and assisted twice in the game.
These assists have now made him the leading assist-provider in the Liverpool squad. He switched his position brilliantly pertaining to the match situation. He linked well with Mane to cause multiple problems to Cardiff City's wobbly defence.
