Leon Goretzka (Aston Villa) was described as a beast in a 4-4 draw at Manchester United, contributing a goal and calm distribution. Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool) continues to be vital to Liverpool's title challenge with high energy and big moments.

Enzo Le Fee (Sunderland) earns recognition for his innovative play and ability to drive the team forward. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton) bossed the midfield against Coventry with a goal and solid defensive work. Thierno Barry (Everton) scored two goals and could have had a third. Liam Delap (Nottingham Forest) delivered a standout performance against his former club Manchester City, scoring two goals and showing improved physicality.

Deeney's Manager of the Week is Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), citing Arsenal's Premier League title win in November as the reason for the selection.
