"Gianluigi Donnarumma (Manchester City): I know a lot of people will say "it was 3-0 against West Ham". But he made four or five massive saves in the early part of the second half, which kept them ahead and gave them a fighting chance to win. Manchester City have been good, but not setting the world alight defensively. Donnarumma has to keep providing and turning up with big performances."
"Reece James (Chelsea): We have had Reece in the team a few times and, ahead of the World Cup, he looks the real deal. We have never questioned his ability, but he falls into the 'if he is fit' category. At the moment he has not had an injury for a year and touch wood that continues. His free-kick in the draw at Newcastle was a pearler."
"Piero Hincapie (Arsenal): Slightly going under the radar for Arsenal. They brought him in late, when other people were looking at him, and he has been excellent. A solid performance against Everton. Joachim Andersen (Fulham): For years he has come with class for Fulham. He hits that lovely raking diagonal pass and his organisational skills also help. He organises and marshalls that defence, and did so again against Forest. He is very astute."
Gianluigi Donnarumma (Manchester City) made four or five huge saves in the early part of the second half to keep City ahead and give them a fighting chance to win, despite a 3-0 scoreline against West Ham. Manchester City's defence has been solid but not dominant, so Donnarumma must continue producing big performances. Reece James (Chelsea) has been consistently selected when fit and has not suffered injury for a year; his World Cup prospects look strong after a pearler of a free-kick in the draw at Newcastle. Piero Hincapie (Arsenal) has been quietly excellent after a late signing, performing well against Everton. Joachim Andersen (Fulham) offers classy diagonal passes and organisational skills, marshalling his defence effectively.
