Premier League Team of the Week: Alexis and Otamendi shine

No goalkeeper made more saves than Butland in the Premier League on Boxing Day (seven, level with West Ham's Adrian).

Alexander-Arnold (19 years, 2 months, 19 days) is the second youngest defender to score for Liverpool in the PL after Jamie Carragher (18 years, 11 months, 21 days).

Since the start of last season Azpilicueta has racked up 10 Premier League assists — more than any other defender.

Otamendi completed 122 passes for Man City in a 1-0 win at Newcastle – seven more than all the outfield players of Newcastle managed combined (115).

In terms of goals from defenders, Alonso leads the way in the Premier League since the start of last season, with 11.

Fabregas created seven goalscoring chances on Boxing Day (including one assist), more than any other Premier League player on the day.

Lingard has had a hand in 10 Premier League goals this season (six goals and four assists in 16 appearances) — more than in his previous three seasons combined (five goals and three assists in 51 games).

Coutinho has scored 19 Premier League goals from outside the box — one more than Robbie Fowler and second only to Steven Gerrard (33) among Liverpool players all time.

Alli has scored more Premier League goals versus Southampton (five) than any other opponent.

After a brace at Crystal Palace, Sanchez has now had a hand in 13 goals in his last 15 Premier League London derbies (10 goals, three assists).

With another hat-trick Kane has now scored 39 Premier League goals in 36 games in 2017 — the most by a player in a calendar year in the competition's history.
