Goalkeeper: Tom Heaton (Burnley)
A Peter Schmeichel-style star-jump save was the highlight of a remarkable display to stop his old club Manchester United from scoring.
Right-back: Antonio Barragan (Middlesbrough)
The Spaniard’s solidity kept Bournemouth to few chances and provided the platform for Middlesbrough to record a first home win.
Centre-back: Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea)
His conversion into a centre-back looks a success as Chelsea kept a fourth straight clean sheet and Southampton had only one shot on target.
Centre-back: Joel Matip (Liverpool)
The free transfer looks one of the signings of the season. The Liverpool man scored a goal and was dominant at the back at Crystal Palace.
Left-back: Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal)
Granted a rare start, he set up one goal and struck the post during Arsenal’s three-goal salvo to ensure an emphatic victory over Sunderland.
Right midfield: Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
Already scored more league goals than he did last season and a high-class effort set Chelsea on their way to a win at Southampton.
Centre midfield: Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City)
A late double clinched Manchester City’s victory over West Bromwich Albion and illustrated that the German is proving himself a class act.
Centre midfield: Ross Barkley (Everton)
Capped his return to form with a low volley to see off Everton at Goodison Park. After a troubled spell, Barkley is back.
Left midfield: Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
Others got the four goals but Coutinho was the real class act in Liverpool’s 4-2 demolition of Palace. He has stepped up a level.
Striker: Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
Brought his personal drought to an end in suitable style to end City’s six-game winless run and book himself a start against Barcelona.
Striker: Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)
Not just for his two goals. His movement was so elusive that sorry Sunderland could not track the Chilean as Arsenal won 4-1.
