Nick Pope, 12 points: The Newcastle goalkeeper kept a clean sheet, made nine saves to collect three more points, and swept up the maximum three bonus points from the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

Ben Chilwell, 10: A goal and an assist off the bench was some cameo from the Chelsea wing-back as the Blues came from behind to beat West Ham.
