ToggleBernd Leno – Arsenal
Bernd Leno may have dropped a clanger against Chelsea on Sunday but the German has been one of the bright spots in an otherwise disastrous Arsenal season, alongside striker and captain Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang.
The defence under Unai Emery, Freddie Ljungberg and Mikel Arteta has been calamitous and the Gunners would have been in a much worse position in the table had it not been for Leno making save after save in goal.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – Liverpool
The best right-back in the Premier League on talent and on form, and now quite possibly the best right-back in the world too.
One of Liverpool's key attacking weapons as they have made sensational headway at the top of the table. Goals, assists, the 21-year-old has got the lot.

Caglar Soyuncu – Leicester City
One of the discoveries of the season for Leicester City, the Turkish defender was reluctantly thrown in at the deep end as the Foxes could not find an adequate replacement for Manchester United-bound Harry Maguire.
He has been consistent, smart in possession and one of the main reasons why – until the visit of Liverpool at least – Leicester's defence has been the best in the league.

Virgil van Dijk – Liverpool
The reigning UEFA Men's Player of the Year Award holder, Van Dijk has worked his way up to become the best centre-back in world football.
Equally assured in possession as he is dominant in his defending, he has also pitched in with three goals this Premier League season.
