Chelsea and Arsenal with two players each: Premier League team of the week

Bournemouth duo also included after the impressive win against Liverpool

• 

  PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM OF THE WEEK: GK: Gavin Bazunu (Southampton): The gloves could have gone to either goalkeeper from Southampton’s entertaining goalless draw at Manchester United. Both Bazunu and David de Gea produced several big saves to keep their teams in the game. But the nod goes to Bazunu for the value of the point he helped struggling Southampton earn against 10-man United. Getty

• 

  RB: Pedro Porro (Tottenham): A pinpoint cross found Kane’s head for the opener and the Spanish full-back played a part in the move which led to the penalty for Tottenham’s - and Kane’s - second in a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest. Reuters

• 

  CB: Gabriel (Arsenal): Climbed highest to nod in Arsenal’s first goal against Fulham and defended with composure to ensure Arsenal kept a clean sheet in the 3-0 victory at Craven Cottage. PA

• 

  CB: James Tarkowski (Everton): Led his defence superbly as Everton earned a valuable 1-0 win against Brentford to climb out of the relegation zone. Getty

• 

  LB: Ben Chilwell (Chelsea): Met with hostility inside the King Power Stadium but the former Leicester defender silenced the crowd with a classy volley to give Chelsea the lead in a 3-1 win. Successive victories and it appears the Blues might finally have turned a corner. Getty

• 

  CM: Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea): A performance befitting the most expensive player in British football history. Ran the show against Leicester, snapped in with tackles, and created a stunning assist with a scooped pass to Kai Havertz. PA

• 

  CM: Philip Billing (Bournemouth): Combined brilliantly with Ouattara throughout Bournemouth’s impressive win against Liverpool, highlighted by the composed first-time finish to hand his team three crucial points. PA

• 

  RW: Dango Ouattara (Bournemouth): Provided the assist for Billing’s match-winning goal and continued to pull Liverpool’s defence apart at almost every attacking opportunity. A huge win for Bournemouth, who are still in the drop zone but a little closer to safety. PA

• 

  LW: Jack Harrison (Leeds United): An eventful game at Elland Road for Harrison. Assisted Patrick Bamford’s equaliser against Brighton and scored an own goal to give the visitors another lead, but made amends with a stunning finish as the match ended 2-2. Getty

• 

  CF: Leandro Trossard (Arsenal): Taking his place among a fluid front-three, Trossard helped himself to a hat-trick of assists – all crosses – as the Gunners beat Fulham to reclaim their five-point lead at the top. The January signing from Brighton has adapted quickly at Arsenal. PA

• 

  CF: Harry Kane (Tottenham): After a challenging 10 days, which saw Tottenham eliminated from the FA Cup and Champions League, the team needed a performance to keep their top-four hopes on course. Who else but Kane to step up and lead the response? The striker scored twice, including a penalty, as Spurs beat Nottingham Forest. Getty

It's been a Premier League season to forget for Chelsea so far but recent results suggest a corner might just be getting turned.

A scrappy 1-0 win over Leeds United – Chelsea's first league victory in six games – was followed up this past Saturday with a 3-1 win at Leicester City. Between those results was passage into the Champions League quarter-finals after the Blues ended Borussia Dortmund's 10-match winning run.

Six points from their past two games has made little immediate difference in the standings as Chelsea still sit 10th, but manager Graham Potter will hope his team can continue their uptick in form when they host next Saturday a struggling Everton side who have won only once away from home.

Liverpool looked like they had banished their inconsistent form with a 7-0 destruction of rivals Manchester United but the issues which have plagued them this season returned on Saturday afternoon in the 1-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Bournemouth.

Liverpool's top-four hopes were dealt another setback when Tottenham bounced back from a disappointing spell, which included exits from the FA Cup and Champions League, by comfortably beating Nottingham Forest 3-1.

Also on Saturday, Everton climbed out of the bottom three with a 1-0 win at Goodison Park to end Brentford's 12-match unbeaten run, and Leeds United fought back twice to claim a 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.

In the late game, champions Manchester City required a second-half Erling Haaland penalty to break down Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park.

On Sunday, Arsenal re-established their five-point lead at the top with a comprehensive 3-0 victory at Fulham, 10-man Manchester United were held to a goalless draw by Southampton after Casemiro was sent off, and West Ham and Aston Villa played out a 1-1 draw.

The weekend then concluded with Newcastle United claiming their first win in six league matches with a 2-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
