Goalkeeper: Eldin Jakupovic (Hull City)
His brilliant saves from Sebastian Prodl and Troy Deeney allowed a Hull team who finished the match with 10 men to pull off a vital victory against Watford.
Right-back: Victor Moses (Chelsea)
Got the better of his duel with another makeshift wing-back, Son Heung-min, as the South Korean chopped him down for a penalty at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final.
Centre-back: Gabriel (Arsenal)
A stand-in who stood up, the Brazilian was excellent in Arsenal’s new-look back three as they reached a record 20th FA Cup final.
Centre-back: Eric Bailly (Manchester United)
A rock at the back as, forming a new centre-back partnership with Daley Blind, United prevented Burnley from recording a shot on target.
Left-back: Charlie Daniels (Bournemouth)
Took the fourth goal well in the rout of Middlesbrough and showed his class with the way he raided forward in an emphatic display.
Right midfield: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal)
A man-of-the-match display at Wembley as he led the fightback with a cross for Nacho Monreal’s well-taken equaliser in Arsenal’s 21 FA Cup semi-final win.
Centre midfield: Tom Carroll (Swansea City)
Yes, his goal in the 2-0 win against Stoke City took a sizeable deflection, but Carroll still ran the midfield and broke forward to good effect.
Centre midfield: Yohan Cabaye (Crystal Palace)
Played a huge part in securing Palace’s third successive win at Anfield with the terrific cross for Christian Benteke’s equaliser.
Left midfield: Willian (Chelsea)
A surprise starter scored two set pieces – a free kick and a penalty – before his replacement, Eden Hazard, contributed to two more goals in the FA Cup semi-final win.
Striker: Christian Benteke (Crystal Palace)
Ensured his return to Anfield was a memorable one with a match-winning double to take Palace to 38 points and, probably, safety.
Striker: Anthony Martial (Manchester United)
Marked his recall with a terrific display against Burnley. His speed brought him the key opening goal and he contributed to the second.
