CM: Dele Alli( Tottenham Hotspur)
Nobody could’ve expected someone as young as him to make such impact at a big Premier League club, after making a move from the then League One side MK Dons. But the Englishman deservedly earned an English cap and has been a star performer for Pochetinno’s Spurs, who haven’t lost a game since their opening day defeat at Old Trafford.
Alli was amongst the standout performers too, as he scored once from the edge of the box to double Spurs’ lead at the stroke of half time against Villa. He completed a total of 5 take-ons and was sound defensively too, making 3 interceptions in total.
CM: Steven Davis( Southampton)
A rather hard working yet a under-credited member of Ronald Koeman’s unit, Davis is usually an unlikely outlet for goals, but the Northern Irishman is always an important player for the Saints, one way or another. He contributes to both departments on the pitch and is a tireless worker.
Against Bournemouth in the South Coast derby, Davis opened Southampton’s account with a well-placed effort from close range, off Dusan Tadic’s cross. Apart from scoring, Davis created two chances and looked bright from the start.
LM: Arouna Kone(Everton)
There’s no one in the world who can deny him of a place in this week’s team of the week, thanks to a sublime hat-trick against Sunderland. He seems to bring in new spark into the Everton side and has looked very bright indeed since coming back into the first team fray this season.
His hat trick, which consisted of three different kinds of goals, stands out as an eye-catching show of the week and his Halloween celebration was just as cheeky. Playing on the left, Kone created three chances and looked a threat whenever Everton broke, tearing Sunderland’s 3-5-2 formation to shreds.
CAM: Mesut Ozil( Arsenal)
The man who’s witnessed a truly surprising and a rather pleasing resurgence back to his best, Ozil has been instrumental in Arsenal’s games this season. He’s seen assisting every single game and has been back amongst the goals too. He extinguished detractors who dubbed him to be unfit for the Premier League.
Against Swansea at the weekend, Ozil grabbed an assist and looked very lively whenever he got on the ball. An assist leader right now, Ozil created three chances and as always, was an important creator for the Gunners, as they stayed at second, behind City only on goal difference.
RM: Joel Campbell(Arsenal)
Due to an injury crisis, Wenger had gone ahead with fielding the Costa Rican, who has been on the fringes for some time now at the Emirates. And the youngster delivered a performance that didn’t disappoint Wenger and staked his claim for the first team spot, in the absence of the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Danny Welbeck, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Campbell enjoyed the best game of Arsenal career, to be honest. He scored Arsenal’s third goal that sealed the game and assisted Laurent Koscielny is scoring the second goal. He created a total of 6 chances and was Arsenal’s most creative player on the pitch, being deployed on the right of the three behind the striker.
