#3 Emmanuel Dennis (Watford)

Oh, how can we ignore the man who orchestrated the final act of ruin against Manchester United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

Emmanuel Dennis delivered two assists, two key passes, one goal and the final nail in the coffin for Solskjaer at Manchester United. He was virtually unplayable against the Red Devils on Saturday.

In addition to this, he also had four shots on the night and completed two out of seven dribbles. Not containing himself to the offense, the Super Eagle also won two out of three tackles, while committing two fouls.

The Hornets' player was dispossesed only twice on the whole night, and only one of those led to a turnover in possession.


#2 Antonio Rudiger (Chelsea)

Chelsea are reportedly reluctant to offer Antonio Rudiger a new deal. However if his recent performances have been proof they should offer the German as much money as he demands. His performance against Leicester City made it even clearer.

In addition to scoring the first goal, he was his usual dominant self in defense right alongside Thiago Silva. He put in three clearances, two tackles, won five duels, made five long passes successfully and was not dribbled past even once.


#1 Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)

After the game against Arsenal, Trent Alexander-Arnold said in the post-match conference:

"We were all over them. They (Arsenal) were just seeing red blurs all over the place."

Trent himself accounted for about four of those red blurs.

The Englishman was all over the Gunners, pulling strings and pinging passes from everywhere. He finished the night with two assists to his name, creating two big chances and four chances in total.

In addition to all that, he had three shots, made eight successful crosses and won three duels down the wings. To retaliate in such a way for the loss against West Ham prior to the break takes a special player. That's exactly what Liverpool have in Alexander-Arnold.
