CF: Taiwo Awoniyi (Nottingham Forest). Another vital goal-scoring contribution from the Forest striker, who scored both goals in the 2-2 draw at Chelsea to keep his side clear of the bottom three. Reuters
PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM OF THE WEEK (4-3-3) GK: Jason Steele (Brighton). Only the second goalkeeper – after Newcastle’s Nick Pope – to keep a Premier League clean sheet at the Emirates this season as Brighton all but killed off Arsenal’s title hopes with a 3-0 win. AP
RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool). Scored a screamer for Liverpool’s third in the 3-0 win at Leicester City. The England international has been superb since taking on a more hybrid fullback-midfield role as the Reds recorded their seventh straight win. Getty
CB: Ben Mee (Brentford). It was Mee’s headed flick-on that assisted Yoane Wissa for Brentford’s second goal in the 2-0 victory over West Ham. Defensively, the English centre-back was solid to help Brentford continue their excellent season. Getty
CB: Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace). The English defender has been a mainstay in the Palace backline and was at his best to help his side to victory and a clean sheet against West Ham. Getty
LB: Pervis Estupinan (Brighton). Brighton sold Marc Cucurella for £60m and replaced him with Estupinan for £15m. Not only did Brighton pocket £45m profit but managed to upgrade. The Peruvian has been brilliant all season and was again superb against Arsenal, capping a fine performance with the third goal. Getty
CM: Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace). Arguably the form player in the Premier League at present, Eze continued his purple patch with both goals in Palace’s 2-0 win over West Ham. Would be no surprise if bigger clubs try to sign him this summer. Getty
CM: Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City). For the second straight weekend, the German midfielder scored twice, his double guiding City to a comfortable 3-0 win at Everton. An 11th straight victory has put City on the brink of retaining their title. AP
RW: Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton). No goals, no assists (so no help for Fantasy Premier League managers) but the Japanese winger was the best player on the pitch against Arsenal. Mitoma pulled the Gunners apart and tracked back to help out his team defensively. Getty
LW: Curtis Jones (Liverpool). Two excellently taken goals for the young English midfielder in Liverpool’s win at Leicester – the first a well-timed run and finish at the back post, the second a brilliant turn and strike into the top corner. EPA
CF: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool). The Egyptian may not have got on the scoresheet at Leicester but did assist all three goals to play a key role in the win. Now has 10 assists to go with his 19 Premier League goals this season. AFP
