Declan Rice has been a pillar of the Arsenal team this season with his consistent performances helping the Gunners to stay at the top of the Premier League table. Few transfers have carried as much weight or expectation as Rice's move to North London. Yet, as the season progresses, the 105 million man continues to make that record-breaking fee look like a bargain.

He didn't play right-back but arguably the best player of the weekend is James. Wonderful in his approach and arguably his best game this season. I wanted to put him in midfield, where he played against Arsenal, but there were so many good players, so he goes in here, with an honourable mention to Kenny Tete from Fulham who only just misses out. Scored two at Everton and has been a real revelation since he came from AC Milan.
