Although Chelsea have been poor this season, Cole Palmer has been a breath of fresh air and put himself in the running for PFA Player of the Year after a string of dazzling performances. 

Star in a dark sky

The Chelsea attacker has been one of the most productive players this season, scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists. His four goals against Everton have been the best of several outstanding games.

Bukayo Saka

Arsenal wouldn't be near the top of the league if it wasn't for Bukayo Saka's creative spark on the front line for the 'Gunners,' scoring 15 goals and providing nine assists.

Nightmare for defenders

Saka has been deadly on his left foot all season and proved to be a nightmare when cutting in off the wing. Saka scored a pivotal goal in Arsenal's 3-2 win over Tottenham to keep their cushion at the top of the league.

Ollie Watkins

Aston Villa have had a historic run in the Premier League this season, currently occupying the final spot in the top four thanks to the goals and assists from Ollie Watkins. 

Top of the assists charge

Watkins has been a thorn in other team's sides all season long for Villa and has been the most productive player in the league this season, scoring 19 goals and topping the assists charts with 12. Can they finish in the top four and win the UEFA Conference League?

 

Phil Foden

Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland haven't been at their elite best, but Phil Foden has come into his own this season, becoming Manchester City's main offensive threat.
