Goalkeepers
Jumping straight to the top of the form rankings for goalkeepers after his heroics against former club Arsenal on Monday night, Lukasz Fabianski's next task is to keep Sergio Agüero and co. at bay. The Swansea shot stopper kept his 13th clean sheet of the season last time out, producing 9 saves at the Emirates to earn the highest WhoScored.com match rating (9.77) of any keeper in the Premier League this season.
Elsewhere among the top 8 Tom Heaton has kept his place and despite Burnley's relegation the Clarets' defensive record has been superb of late. Their keeper has been key to that, earning a clean sheet at Hull, and will be aiming to secure a fifth successive WhoScored rating in excess of a 7 when Dyche's men host Stoke this weekend.

Defenders
Aleksandar Kolarov keeps his place atop the defenders leaderboard after another excellent showing last time out, scoring City's second goal en route to a 6-0 thumping of QPR and subsequent rating of 9.10. Jason Shackell remains the full-back's closest challenger here, with an average rating of 8.50 over his last three appearances, while Federico Fernández climbs from 8th to 3rd having helped Swansea to victory over Arsenal.
James Collins is the highest new arrival in the top 10 after an impressive showing against former employers Aston Villa last time out (7.66 rating), while Craig Dawson and John Terry are also new to the leaderboard, with the latter netting the opener in Sunday's stalemate with Liverpool.

Midfielders
In midfield Marc Albrighton also retains his top spot as Leicester's remarkable form continued with victory over Southampton last weekend. David Silva leaps into second with a rating of 9.52 last time out having scored the last goal to round off a marvellous display from the now former champions, relegating QPR with a 6-0 trouncing.
Elsewhere Cesc Fabregas is a newcomer to the top 10 while Riyad Mahrez was a big climber having netted both goals, and the man of the match award, for Nigel Pearson's men in their aforementioned win over the Saints. Jefferson Montero and Jack Cork also earn a place here for their roles in a shock win over Arsenal that moved Monk's side within touching distance of Southampton and Spurs above them.

Forwards
Sergio Agüero unsurprisingly jumps from third to first in the forward form rankings having bagged a hat-trick last Sunday, stretching his scoring streak to 5 matches, notching 8 goals in that time. A trip to Swansea is up next as the Argentine looks to ensure a golden boot award that now seems to be firmly in his clutches having taken his tally to 25 for the league season.
Marko Arnautovic is the highest placed new arrival on the leaderboard, securing a rating of 8.29 in a 3-0 win over Tottenham last time out, while Victor Anichebe also comes into the top 10 following his goal over Newcastle. The final new entrant here is Sunderland's Danny Graham, who repaid the faith shown in him by Dick Advocaat to score his first ever goal for the Black Cats in their shock win at Everton.
