#3 Paul Pogba (Manchester United)

Paul Pogba's performances for Manchester United over the years have been a bit of a mixed bag. But there is no denying that on his day, the Frenchman is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

The £94.5 million that Manchester United paid Juventus in 2016 to bring Pogba back has meant that scrutiny on Pogba has been intense ever since his arrival at Old Trafford. The France international has enjoyed some good moments with the Red Devils, but constant transfer speculation has been disconcerting.

Pogba has not been a consistent starter this season but has performed well when called upon. The 28-year old has made 32 appearances in all competitions this season for Manchester United, scoring five goals and providing four assists.

A brilliant passer with strong technical skills, Pogba could prove to be decisive in this fixture against Tottenham Hotspur.


#4 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)

One of the best midfielders in the world, Bruno Fernandes, has completely transformed Manchester United's fortunes since his arrival at the club last year.

His impact at the club has been compared to that of Eric Cantona. The Portugal international has impressed with his creativity and drive from midfield, while his leadership qualities have also come to the fore.

Fernandes has made 47 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United this season, scoring 24 goals and providing 14 assists. The 26-year old is among the favourites to win the PFA Player's Player of the Year award this season.


#5 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

One of the best strikers in the world, Harry Kane has been in sizzling form for Tottenham Hotspur this season.

Despite Kane's exploits, Jose Mourinho's men have struggled this season. If not for Kane, one wonders where Tottenham Hotspur would have been this season. He is the Premier League's top goal-scorer and assist-provider this season.

The England international has been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City in recent weeks.

Kane has made 41 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring 29 goals and providing 16 assists. Like Son, Kane scored a brace at Old Trafford in the 6-1 thrashing of United last year.
