Jurrien Timber (Arsenal): Yes he scored, but he locked down the whole right-hand side so much that Chelsea were forced to try to go through the middle which made Arsenal's defending so much easier. William Saliba (Arsenal): Rolls-Royce of a centre-back, very comfortable throughout. If he was fit all season, who knows where Everton would be. Rayan Ait-Nouri (Manchester City): He is finding his feet at City. Great assist but also showing that dogged side to his game that he developed at Wolves and brings that to this side still trying to chase down Arsenal.
