Tarkowski faced some criticism earlier this season, but he delivered when it mattered against Burnley. His goal helped Everton end their winless streak at Hill Dickinson Stadium, contributing to a clean sheet.

Centre-back: Gabriel – Arsenal

Gabriel was instrumental in Arsenal’s win against Brighton. He made eight clearances in the first half and finished the match with a total of 14, marking him as a key presence in defense, especially without William Saliba.

Midfield: Joelinton – Newcastle

Joelinton made a notable impact in the match against Manchester United, contributing significantly to the midfield even when Newcastle was down to 10 men. He outplayed Brazil teammate Casemiro in their matchup.

Midfield: Andre – Wolves
