"Robin Roefs (Sunderland): I think he has arguably been the signing of the season. Unbelievable the way he keeps performing to that same level and standard. He kept Sunderland in it against Manchester City with three or four great saves. The way that he has been playing and that backline has been playing, I could have just put that whole backline in. They were excellent and I thought he epitomised that."
"Jaka Bijol (Leeds): At Anfield, everyone would have expected Liverpool to really, really do a job on this team here and make sure that they were ready to go. Unfortunately, Leeds are flying high. They defended resolutely and rode their luck, there was a massive chance for Hugo Ekitike to score and he probably should have but Leeds are in a good vein of form and Bijol has been an unsung hero."
"Nathan Collins (Brentford): The game against Spurs was poor and the abilities and the attacking threat was poor. It was a defensive unit for both but I thought Nathan Collins was arguably the best defender on the pitch. Brentford continue their opportunity to stay in the league and that is going to be based on how defensively solid they are."
Robin Roefs produced three or four crucial saves to keep Sunderland competitive against Manchester City, exemplifying a strong and cohesive backline. Trai Hume has been Sunderland's most consistent performer across the season and remains under-recognized. Jaka Bijol helped Leeds defend resolutely at Anfield, contributing solidity and an unsung midfield presence during a resilient team display. Nathan Collins stood out defensively for Brentford against Spurs, with defensive reliability central to Brentford's chances of staying in the league. Martin Zubimendi dictates Arsenal's midfield, adds occasional goals, and provides important control to the team's play.
