Premier League team of matchweek 15: Flying Foxes feature

Left back: Nacho Monreal (Arsenal)

Central midfield: Dele Alli (Tottenham)

Another game, another great goal for exciting youngster Alli, who just can’t seem to stop scoring. A perfectly timed volley here from the Englishman, who skillfully diverted Toby Alderweireld’s exquisite pass, ensured Spurs a point.

Central midfield: N’Golo Kante (Leicester City)

Attacking midfield: Georginio Wijnaldum (Newcastle United)

This deadly Dutch finisher could just help the Magpies to keep their heads above water this campaign, as he keeps contributing in the final third.

In a vital victory versus Liverpool, Martin Skrtel may have been credited with an own goal for Newcastle’s deflected opener, but it was all due to Wijnaldum’s menace, while the second saw the adaptable attacker delicately and deftly pop the ball over Simon Mignolet.

Forward: Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)

The electric Algeria international’s first may have been scrappy, but the second and third were lovely low finishes into the left hand corner, strikes worthy of propelling his side to the summit.

Forward: Marko Arnautovic (Stoke City)

Not usually deployed as an out and out striker, former Inter Milan wideman Arnautovic showed the precise finishing of a poacher, as he latched onto some lovely passes in Manchester City’s box and dispatched a deadly double to bring the Potters victory.

Forward: Xherdan Shaqiri (Stoke City)
