GK: Martin Dubravka, 7.8 (Newcastle)

Martin Dubravka backstopped a Newcastle clean sheet as the Magpies claimed a 1-0 win over Fulham.

The Slovakia international helped the visitors survive plenty of first-half pressure on the way to making four saves and five high claims.

DEF: Bruno Guimaraes, 8.3 (Newcastle)

Bruno Guimaraes scored the lone goal of the game in Newcastle's win at Fulham and was his usual busy self throughout proceedings.

He rifled a loose rebound into the corner but also created four chances and won six duels.

DEF: Fabian Schar, 8.0 (Newcastle)

Another Newcastle player sees Fabian Schar join the ranks, and it is deserved given his display in central defence.

The 32-year-old was commanding at the back winning a game-high 11 duels while also making 13 clearances as Newcastle withstood all of Fulham's pressure.

DEF: Micky van de Ven, 8.2 (Tottenham)

Tottenham concluded the weekend in the top four with a 3-1 win at home to Nottingham Forest and Micky van de Ven was crucial to that.

The 22-year-old Dutchman won five ground duels and two tackles and capped off an excellent performance with a fierce strike into the top corner to restore Spurs' lead.

MID: Kevin De Bruyne, 9.6 (Manchester City)

A vintage Kevin De Bruyne display helped Manchester City overcome Crystal Palace 4-2 and help keep their title push going.

The Belgian had a hand in three of City's four goals, first curling a beautiful equaliser into the corner before teeing up Erling Haaland.

De Bruyne's second, which was his 100th City goal, saw him lash a left-footed effort well beyond the goalkeeper.

MID: James Ward-Prowse, 8.1 (West Ham)

The steady James Ward-Prowse continues to tick along for West Ham and his deliveries yet again had a key role as the Hammers came back to beat Wolves 2-1.

Ward-Prowse scored the game-winner directly from a corner, with the ball curling up and over the goalkeeper before finding its way in at the far post. 

MID: Jordan Clark, 8.4 (Luton)

Jordan Clark enjoyed his weekend as he netted his first Premier League goal in an important 2-1 Luton win over Bournemouth.

The 30-year-old midfielder put in an all-action performance with three chances created, three tackles won and eight duels won, while he took his goal well after the ball dropped nicely into his path.

MID: Kai Havertz, 8.4 (Arsenal)

The revival of Kai Havertz continued with the German putting in a top shift in table-topping Arsenal's 3-0 win at Brighton.

Havertz was focal in the Gunners' victory, netting in the second half before assisting Leandro Trossard late in the game.

FWD: Ollie Watkins, 8.2 (Aston Villa)

The returning Ollie Watkins was back among the goals but was unable to push his Aston Villa side to a much-needed three points as they were held to a 3-3 draw with Brentford.

Watkins scored twice against his former side to take his tally up to 18 goals, heading in the opener before levelling the game late on.

FWD: Oli McBurnie, 8.2 (Sheffield United)

Oli McBurnie gave Sheffield United fans something to cheer about amid a dreary season after hitting a stoppage-time equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

McBurnie made himself a nuisance up front with his big frame winning 16 duels, while his goal saw him poke home from close range after a clever flick-on.

FWD: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, 8.2 (Everton)

It's now two goals in two games for Dominic Calvert-Lewin with the striker scoring the only goal of the game in Everton's 1-0 win against Burnley.

It was a freak but instinctive goal, though, with Burnley goalkeeper Arijanet Muric taking too long to clear before blasting his kick off Calvert-Lewin, with the ball bouncing off him and into the net.
