Sky Sports and Budweiser, the King of Beers, have teamed up to bring you the weekly Power Rankings.

Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse has topped the form chart for a second week running after helping the Saints reach the league summit on Friday with a 2-0 win over Newcastle.

Team-mates Jannik Vestergaard (No 8) and Che Adams (No 9) also achieved top-10 standings, with the latter stepping up to the plate in the absence of the injured Danny Ings - blasting Ralph Hasenhuttl's side ahead at St Mary's Stadium.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane latched onto a long ball from Matt Doherty to nod home a late winner at West Brom and land runner-up spot in this week's chart - maintaining his run among the elite performers this season.

Bruno Fernandes (No 3) skyrocketed into more customary territory in the rankings after scoring twice in Manchester United's 3-1 win at Everton - a result that helped ease pressure on under-fire manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Chelsea showed more signs of a team in ascent as their new signings start to gel, with Ben Chilwell (No 6) and Timo Werner (No 7) among the goals as the Blues cruised to a 4-1 win against Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge.

Sky Sports and Budweiser, official partner of the Premier League and King of Beers, have joined forces to bring you the Kings of the Premier League show.

On the back of its resounding success last season, the debate returns to your screens at 7pm on the last Friday of every month on Sky Sports Premier League.

Sky Sports presenter Adam Smith and two guests will build an ultimate XI from the top-performing players over the past month, pitting stats against gut as they compare data-driven form charts with Kings of the Match fan votes.

"This show really is the perfect way to pick the team of the month," according to Smithy. "It's never easy picking a dream XI, so let the debate commence."
