6. Midfield: James Maddison - 10
The midfielder was at the heart of Leicester City's much-needed win on Monday night with two goals and an assist. Not a bad response to his England snub last month. Photo: Nathan Stirk
7. Midfield: Leandro Trossard - 8.7
The Brighton and Hove Albion star became only the third player to score a Premier League hat-trick at Anfield as the Seagulls drew 3-3 with Liverpool. It was a stunning display from the midfielder who could have helped his side earn all three points if it wasn't for the heroics of Alisson Becker. Photo: Clive Brunskill
8. Midfield: Kevin De Bruyne - 8.6
