Goalkeeper: Karl Darlow (Leeds)

Darlow's performance against Brighton was nothing short of spectacular. Facing relentless attacks, he offered a masterclass in goalkeeping, keeping Leeds in the game when defeat seemed inevitable. His reflexes and composure helped Leeds clinch a surprising win, showcasing that sometimes a single player's efforts can change the tide of a match.

Defenders:

• Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool): Despite Liverpool's tough outing, van Dijk proved his mettle by scoring two goals, starkly reminding us of his dual-threat capability.
• William Saliba (Arsenal): Standing out in a weak performance from the Gunners, Saliba maintained a level of professionalism that showed his potential.

Midfield Highlights:

• Jorrel Hato (Chelsea): Hato's pivotal tackle against James Maddison could well define the season for Spurs and proved he deserves more playing time.
• Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace): Not only did he score, but his passing accuracy and creative playmaking made him a driving force for his team.
• Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): Even on an off day, his outstanding assist tally through the season cannot be overlooked, validating his place in this week's lineup.

The Forward Line:

• Dango Ouattara (Brentford): Scoring twice against Crystal Palace, Ouattara's form has been electric, proving he is an ideal replacement for the outgoing talent.
• Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa): Running into form at a crucial time, Watkins is rounding into shape ahead of the Europa League and World Cup, heightening expectations.
• William Osula (Newcastle): With eye-catching performances, Osula has not only become a linchpin in attack but also highlighted Newcastle's effective recruitment strategy.

Manager of the Week: Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
