Defenders
Kyle Naughton
Swansea right-back Kyle Naughton helped his team keep their first clean sheet at home under new manager Bob Bradley. He was resolute in front of a dangerous Watford side and stood up to their numerous attacks.
He made all of 12 recoveries for his team and pulled off a couple of successful blocks and tackles. He even tried his hand at creating goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Gary Cahill
Chelsea’s game against Manchester United showed that Gary Cahill hasn’t quite lost the plot yet. He was rock-solid in defense and even scored a goal from a corner. He looked confident as a defender in a back three and seemed not to miss John Terry, his usual partner.

Cahill kept his cool as Chelsea invited United attacks for most of the night.
Winston Reid
West Ham United would have gone home with just a point had it not been for the centre-back, Winston Reid. While he did his best to keep Sunderland out all night, it was his last-minute goal that really redeemed Slaven Bilic and his team.
He was on the receiving end of a corner that was played just outside the penalty box and Reid didn’t hesitate to send a low shot through a crowd of bodies and into the goal.
Christian Fuchs
Leicester City put on a much-awaited impressive display against Crystal Palace at home. They were up by two goals when left-back Fuchs made it three with a superb half-volley from 25 yards out. Even though he conceded a goal to Yohan Cabaye inside the last five minutes of the game, he will remember the night for scoring his first ever goal for Leicester City.
