Andre Onana

Manchester United vs Leicester City could've had a very different narrative coming out of the game hadn't it been for Andre Onana in goal, who was a doubt coming in with illness.

Onana made two crucial saves to deny Jamie Vardy, with the first coming in the 4th minute to deny his side going behind early, and then again in the 97th minute to save his side their first PL clean sheet since January.


Jake O'Brien

It looked as if Everton's unbeaten run was coming to an end against West Ham, but up stepped Jake O'Brien in the 91st minute to salvage his side a draw to make it 9 games unbeaten in the PL for The Toffees.

O'Brien, despite being naturally a centre-back, also showed his attacking qualities against The Hammers, creating 3 chances, completing 3 long balls and completing 3 crosses.


Nikola Milenkovic

Milenkovic did it all against Ipswich Town this weekend, with his biggest contributions surprisingly coming at the attacking end, scoring his side their first goal of the game and his long ball over the top found Anthony Elanga to score Forest's 3rd goal in 6 minutes.


Milenkovic was also his solid self at the back, winning 5/5 of his duels, making 4 tackles, 9 clearances and 1 clearance off the line, which saw his side move 5 points clear of Chelsea in 4th place.


Antonee Robinson

Usually known for his attacking qualities from left back, Robinson showcased his defensive qualities against Spurs, locking down that side to help his side their 5th clean sheet of the season.

Robinson won 11/14 of his duels, made 6 tackles, 3 interceptions, with all being the most of any Fulham player, plus he also made 2 clearances and completed 3 dribbles.


Christian Norgaard

Whilst Bryan Mbeumo and Yoanne Wissa might get the bulk of the recognition for this Brentford side, but Norgaard should be on par for the efforts he puts in midfield, with the Danish international a major cog for Thomas Frank's side.

Norgaard, against an energetic and physical Bournemouth side was brilliant, winning 7/8 of his duels, making 4 tackles and 2 clearances, completed 5/7 long balls, created 2 chances and on top of all, scored the winning goal to win his side their 5th successive away game.


Bruno Fernandes

Where would Manchester United be without their captain this season, as every week he is producing goals and assists to save his side from what could be a potential relegation fight if was absent.



Against Leicester, Bruno's long ball over the top assisted Rasmus Hojlund, his little poke of the ball assisted Alejandro Garnacho and to put the cherry on top of the cake for what was already a magnificent performance, he scored a quality goal from outside the box, with his first time strike across goal perfectly finding the corner.


Jean-Ricner Bellegarde

With Matheus Cunha suspended, Wolves needed another player to step-up and create some chances in his absence and that's exactly what Bellegarde did, assisting both of Wolves' goals as they moved 9 points cleat of the relegation zone.

Along with his 2 assists, Bellegarde also contributed off the ball as Wolves gave up the majority of possession to Southampton, winning 7/9 of his duels and 4 tackles.


Andreas Pereira

Pereira did it all in midfield against Spurs as his side took away all 3 points, running every in the middle of the park, both on and off the ball.


Pereira assisted Rodrgio Muniz's goal to give his side the lead, which was 1 of 3 chances created for the Brazilian, whilst also winning 9 duels and making 4 tackles to send his side 3 points off a place in the Champions League.


Anthony Elanga

Whilst his performances have certainly been effective for Nottingham Forest, Elanga has struggled in front of goal in 2025, being without a goal in 10 PL games this year, but like London buses, he waited ages for one, he got 2 in 4 minutes.

Elanga showed great quality and composure in both of his finishes, finishing with his left foot into the bottom corner after picking the ball up on the halfway line and then using his body well to shield a long ball from defender Jacob Greaves and then finishing past an on-rushing Alex Palmer.


Jorgen Strand Larsen

After 6 goals in his first 13 PL games, Wolves looked to have found their striker, but with just 1 in his next 13, there have been doubts over Strand Larsen, but against Southampton, it looks as if he has put his side out of relegation contention.

Larsen scored 2 goals against The Saints, with both difficult finishes, especially his first, scoring a header whilst moving away from goal and then for his second, precisely putting the ball into the bottom corner to give his side a 2 goal lead.
