"Guglielmo Vicario (Tottenham): I know he was on the losing team at home to Chelsea but his Spurs team-mates abandoned him. He faced 18 shots, nine shots on target, an xG of 3.36 for Chelsea and he kept them in it. He didn't quit on his team. Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City): This kid is frightening. He plays for Manchester City, is naturally a central midfielder and everyone forgets that."
"Gabriel (Arsenal): Again, just a menace and so good to see. Another clean sheet for Arsenal this season. They are constantly on a rollercoaster. He is such a handful from set-pieces, a nuisance. He doesn't know much about the assist in the win at Burnley but just being there made the difference. You can feel the fear in the other teams."
"Jean-Clair Todibo (West Ham): He is in for two reasons. Firstly, West Ham won a game, but I also thought he was measured and assured. Newcastle were not at their best, but you can only beat what is in front of you. I thought he was really good on the ball and calmed it down. Last few weeks he has looked ropey and a bit scared but it looked like he had grown a little bit under the guidance of Nuno Espirito Santo."
