Petr Cech, Arsenal. (1-0 v Newcastle) - Gunners keeper outstanding again, producing a number of important stops, including three from Georginio Wijnaldum.

Adam Smith, Bournemouth. (0-0 v Leicester) - Part of a stern back line, helping Bournemouth register at least a point for a seventh time in eight games.

James Collins, West Ham. (2-0 v Liverpool) - Strong at the back as the Hammers completed a league double over Liverpool for the first time since 1963-64.

Laurent Koscielny, Arsenal. (1-0 v Newcastle) - Repelled Newcastle and then popped up with the winner, his third goal of the season.

Patrick van Aanholt, Sunderland. (3-1 v Aston Villa) - Set Black Cats on the way to a crucial win with his second goal of the season.

Mark Noble, West Ham. (2-0 v Liverpool) - Constantly drove West Ham forward, delivered a great cross for a goal and made a vital clearance.

Alexander Tettey, Norwich. (1-0 v Southampton) - Capped fine all-round display with a excellent left-footed winner, his second match-clincher in four games.

Dele Alli, Tottenham. (1-1 v Everton) - Highly influential and his fifth goal of the season secured a point that might have been more.

Michail Antonio, West Ham. (2-0 v Liverpool) - Constant menace for Liverpool's defence, scoring for a second time in two games and regularly threatening thereafter.

Andy Carroll, West Ham. (2-0 v Liverpool) - Fine display, particularly in the air, forcing saves and heading a winner, his second goal in two games.

Jermain Defoe, Sunderland. (3-1 v Aston Villa) - Proved enduring class with two well-taken strikes, taking his overall Premier League tally against Villa to seven.
