Harvey Barnes (Newcastle): Gets a goal. Good finish into that far corner as well. He’s been excellent and not spoken about a lot. Anthony Elanga and all the others get the headlines, but Barnes has been fantastic.

Martin Odegaard (Arsenal): Captain, leader and a massive winner. It’s just one of those moments where you just think, how did they talk about getting rid of Odegaard? It’s

By Total Football News

James McAtee (Nottingham Forest): He absolutely ran the game at Anfield from start to finish. Getting on the ball in the pockets, half-turn, playing forward. He was the reason they were any good, and he’s very, very good, but won’t be spoken about in the same breath as the goalscorers.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): There’s not much more to say. Captain Fantastic, three goals, an assist, and nearly scored from

By Total Football News

Marc Guehi (Man City): I’ll have Guehi in as my holding midfielder. He should have scored two against Bournemouth because he missed a massive chance before he ended up scoring. But he got the equaliser and offered a lot more of a calming presence than City’s £116m record signing Elliot Anderson – Guehi controlled the game a little bit more.

Vitaly Janelt (Brentford): He is one of

Semenyo was responsible for three of Bournemouth’s six shots on target, had 30% of their touches in Fulham’s box (9/30) and won possession back
