Goalkeeper: Artur Boruc (Bournemouth)
Made a fine penalty save to deny Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez and ensure Bournemouth’s 10 men took a point at the King Power Stadium.
Right-back: Bacary Sagna (Manchester City)
Supplied the inch-perfect cross for Sergio Aguero’s headed winner in City’s comeback against Watford.
Centre-back: Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal)
Has a habit of scoring important goals and got another to earn a below-par Arsenal side victory against Newcastle.
Centre-back: Jonny Evans (West Bromwich Albion)
Popped up with the late winner to give manager Tony Pulis a win against his former club Stoke at the Hawthorns.
Left-back: Aaron Cresswell (West Ham)
Provided some excellent crosses as he raided forward intelligently against Liverpool. He helped West Ham keep a clean sheet, too.
Right midfield: Willian (Chelsea)
Chelsea’s player of the season had another memorable match as he scored with a superb, swerving shot and then set up Diego Costa’s goal.
Centre midfield: Alex Tettey (Norwich)
The Norwegian got in-form Norwich a third victory in four games with a crisp finish to see off Southampton.
Centre midfield: Dele Alli (Tottenham)
His superb season continued with a lovely volley in a man-of-the-match display against Everton at Goodison Park.
Left midfield: Anthony Martial (Manchester United)
Scored one goal and made another to end Manchester United’s nine-match wait for a win against Swansea.
Striker: Diego Costa (Chelsea)
Looks the player of last season again. A goal and an assist against Crystal Palace means he has scored three times in two games under Guus Hiddink.
Striker: Andy Carroll (West Ham)
Inevitably, he scored against his former club Liverpool. A towering header showed the strengths that once made him a £35 million player.
