Maybe he is the left-back answer? Delph attempted 95 passes in the victory over Burnley for City and completed an impressive 93 per cent of them.

Scoring Watford's first goal, his fourth of the Premier League season, certainly helped Doucoure have a good day. But he also recovered possession more times than any other player for the Hornets (10), albeit in a 4-2 loss to Chelsea. 


KEVIN DE BRUYNE | MANCHESTER CITY


Kevin De Bruyne Manchester City

Another game, another Premier League Team of the Week for De Bruyne. The Belgian created four chances and notched an assist against Burnley; more than any other player for Guardiola's side.

The German international created eight chances (including an assist) at Goodison Park, twice as many as any other Arsenal player and a Premier League high for any player so far this year.
