Leicester's Kasper Schmeichel tops Sky Sports' Power Rankings

By Adam Smith

Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has topped the Sky Sports Power Rankings for the second week running after keeping his fifth successive clean sheet in the 2-0 win over Sunderland.

The Dane was boosted from performances in previous weeks, having only made one save from one shot on target at the Stadium of Light.

Team-mate Jamie Vardy returned to the top 10 at No 2, scoring both of Leicester's goals to end his six-game goal drought. Vardy also returned to No 2 in the season rankings after Tottenham striker Harry Kane temporarily overtook the 29-year-old last week.

Leicester defenders Wes Morgan (No 4, down one place) and Christian Fuchs (No 8, down four places) also maintained their top-10 positions.

Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld fired himself 23 places up the charts to No 6 - and boosted his No 4 standing in the season rankings - after scoring Tottenham's second goal during their 3-0 win against Manchester United.

Southampton striker Graziano Pelle rose 10 places to No 5, scoring his fourth goal in four games and assisted Shane Long as the Saints dealt Newcastle's relegation battle a blow with a 3-1 victory at St Mary's.

Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez (No 7, up one place), Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson (No 9, up eight places) and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero (No 10, up 14 places) also starred in the top 10.
