The Premier League is back with another exciting round of fixtures before the final international break of the year. The English top flight has been filled with action-packed football and unexpected twists so far.
Chelsea sit in top position with a three-point gap over Liverpool. Brighton and Brentford have surprised everyone with their performances this season. The race for European places is being also closely contested between many teams.
Gameweek 11 promises to be another thrilling experience just like the previous weeks.
Undoubtedly, the clash between arch-rivals Manchester United and Manchester City will be the most awaited fixture of gameweek 11. The high voltage clash between the two Premier League neighbors will see both teams writing another chapter in their illustrious history.
In addition to the Manchester derby, there are also other crucial matches like West Ham vs Liverpool in the upcoming weekend. It goes without saying that a plethora of superstars will take centre-stage and try to make headlines with their performances.
On that note, let us take a look at
Top five players to watch in GW 11 of the Premier League
#5 Aaron Ramsdale - Arsenal
Following a dreadful start to the Premier League campaign, Arsenal made a sensational comeback to fight for a spot in the top six. They are unbeaten in their last seven games in the league after losing the first three.
During their streak of good performances, goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has been one of their best players. There are very few keepers who are better than the 23-year-old at the moment.
Ramsdale has been an immovable object between the sticks for the Gunners this campaign. He proved his caliber against Leicester City, where he made a record eight saves in an away match in the Premier League. The Englishman has conceded four goals and kept four clean sheets in the Premier League so far.
One out of his eight saves against Leicester was particularly breathtaking, which has earned plaudits from fans and critics alike. It was a save he made off a James Maddison free-kick. He will again be the key for Arsenal against Watford and a player to watch out for.
#4 Reece James - Chelsea
One of the most promising talents in the Premier League, Reece James has really made an impact under Thomas Tuchel's guidance. The 21-year-old is in a good vein of form, showcasing his talent every time he is on the pitch.
Rising up from the youth ranks at Chelsea, James' immense talent was never a secret. But the young defender has stepped it up a notch by being more consistent and reliable at the back.
In addition to his defensive prowess, James has racked up four goals and two assists so far this campaign. Two of his league goals came against Newcastle United in their previous game. If the young talent keeps up his performance, he will surely cause trouble for Burnley.
#3 Emile Smith Rowe - Arsenal
Another teen sensation on the list, Emile Smith Rowe, is currently enjoying his breakthrough season in the Premier League. The 21-year-old is in scintillating form, proving decisive for the Gunners in the final third. Smith Rowe has scored four goals and provided two assists in all competitions for Arsenal.
Smith Rowe has a knack of constantly popping up in dangerous areas and dislodging opponents' defense with his caliber. The English wonderkid has been a threat to be reckoned with from the flanks. Smith Rowe has contributed three goals in the last two Premier League games for the Gunners, making a statement against his critics.
Considering his form, Smith Rowe will likely wreak havoc on the pitch as Arsenal host Watford in the 11th game-week of the Premier League.
#2 Mohamed Salah - Liverpool
To say Mohamed Salah has been brilliant this season will be an understatement. The Egyptian genius has been unstoppable home and away, driving Liverpool to unprecedented heights with his performances.
With 15 goals and six assists in all competitions, Salah's outrageous statistics are a testament to his extraterrestrial form. For most of the ten game weeks in the Premier League, Salah has taken matters into his own hands and decided results with his caliber.
A trip to face in-form West Ham will surely be a challenge for the Reds, with injuries also being a concern for Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool will once again definitely rely on Salah to deliver the goods in front of goal.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo - Manchester United
One can never write off Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to the ability to make headlines with his accomplishments on the pitch. Even when he is having a bad game, the Portuguese legend can change the outcome of the tie in no time. He has done just that since his arrival at Manchester United in the summer.
Ronaldo has scored four goals and provided one assist in the Premier League, which is still a low return by his standards. The Portuguese is in scintillating form in the Champions League, scoring five goals in four matches. Four of his goals in Europe have helped the Red Devils clinch seven points, two of them coming against Atalanta in their previous match.
Against arch rivals Manchester City, United would not want a repeat of their performance against Liverpool. In their last Premier League game, Ronaldo scored one goal and assisted another against Tottenham. They will once again bank on the 36-year-old to get the goals and who will bet against him?
