Left midfield: Marvin Zeegelaar (Watford) – Outstanding for the second successive week, he helped expose Newcastle’s weaknesses, setting up Hughes’ goal. Reuters

Mohamed Salah's fine goalscoring form continues. The Egyptian winger's strike against his former employers Chelsea was his 15th in 20 games for Liverpool across all competitions.

Another player to hit the goal trail this season also gets a spot on the right of midfield. Raheem Sterling's improvement under Pep Guaridola's guidance continues apace with the England international's fortuitous goal in the 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town bringing up 12 goals for the season so far.
