Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has topped the Sky Sports Power Rankings this week.

The Egypt international scored twice for the second game running during a 3-0 win over Southampton at Anfield on Saturday.

Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne slipped one place to No 3, despite scoring a stunner in a 2-0 win at Leicester, while previous table-topper Fernandinho (No 3, down one place) and Leroy Sane (No 7, down two places) retained top-10 places.
