Jordan Pickford (Everton): Save of the weekend to deny Newcastle's Sandro Tonali. England number one came up huge for Everton away at St James' Park. Simply put, they wouldn't have won the game without him.

Jurrien Timber (Arsenal): Yes he scored, but he locked down the whole right-hand side so much that Chelsea were forced to try to go through the middle which made Arsenal's defending so much easier.

William Saliba (Arsenal): Rolls-Royce of a centre-back, very comfortable throughout. He was a calming influence and read the game so well. His goal also helps.

Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton): Most people will see the goal he scored, but the huge block in the game, and a natural partner to James Tarkowski, gives the rest of his team a sense of calm because they have a top quality centre-back in the ranks. Top performance. If he was fit all season, who knows where Everton would be.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (Manchester City): He is finding his feet at City. Great assist but also showing that dogged side to his game that he developed at Wolves and brings that to this side still trying to chase down Arsenal.

Mikkel Damsgaard (Brentford): Two goals and a wonderful assist for Igor Thiago gets you in the team. Brentford lost control in the second half but if he didn't have the first half he had, his side lose the game.

Joao Gomes (Wolves): His best performance in a Wolves shirt to date. He was a monster both with and without the ball. I wonder if Wolves can keep him next season? But for now, give him credit, he hasn't quit yet.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): Bruno, Bruno, Bruno. Every season people write off his importance to Manchester United. Year after year he reminds you why he's the captain and leader of the team. It was a wonder ball in for the winner and his penalty was as calm as ever.

Harry Wilson (Fulham): Has anybody had a more impressive season than Wilson? Goals, assists and consistent performances throughout the season, I think you would been hard pressed to find somebody who has delivered as much as Harry, I really do. Fulham have to tie him down to a new contract.

Igor Thiago (Brentford): Another goal for the Brazilian forward. He is looking like a shoo-in for his national team for the World Cup as his and Brentford's fairytale season continues.

Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool): A goal and two assists in 70 minutes. Day by day he's making this team his own. More confidence, more arrogance. We could be seeing the next decade of Liverpool football club.

David Moyes (Everton): Everton lost 13 players in the summer, moved stadium and lost key players throughout the season. Yet he keeps delivering performance after performance. They are five points behind Chelsea for a top-six finish. Don't rule it out yet.
