Tune in to the monthly Kings of the Premier League show on Sky Sports to find out who is crowned King of the Month, brought to you by Budweiser - official beer partner of the Premier League and King of Beers

Sky Sports and Budweiser, the King of Beers, have teamed up to bring you the weekly Power Rankings.
Jack Grealish has made the unprecedented move of slipping into pole position in the form chart... without even playing.
Aston Villa's fixture was postponed due to a coronavirus outbreak among visitors Newcastle, but a dearth of points collected by fellow elite performers edged Grealish to the summit as each player's score is based on performances in their club's previous five league games.
Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez (No 2) produced another impressive display during a 2-0 win over Fulham, while Bruno Fernandes' (No 4) second-half introduction helped overturn a one-goal deficit in Manchester United's 3-1 win at West Ham.
Tottenham stopper Hugo Lloris (No 3) produced his fourth successive clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Arsenal, with team-mates Heung-Min Son (No 5) and Harry Kane (No 8) among the goals - assisting each other from counter-attacks.
Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse (No 6) assisted Southampton's equaliser after conceding a penalty in a 2-1 win over Brighton, while Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin (No 7) extended his season tally to a league-topping 11 goals with a late first-half leveller to secure a 1-1 draw at Burnley.
Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma (No 10) scored his fourth goal this term in a 3-1 win against Leeds, while Blues loanee Conor Gallagher (No 9) continues to impress at West Brom - scoring his side's only goal in a 5-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Eight players toppled team-mates in the clubs' form charts: Robbie Brady (Burnley), Zouma, Andre-Frank Anguissa (Fulham), Jamie Vardy (Leicester), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Christian Benteke (Crystal Palace), Oli McBurnie (Sheffield United) and Tomas Soucek (West Ham).
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 on the first 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."
The show's best bits will play out across Sky Sports' YouTube and the partnership will also deliver the weekly Power Ranking articles every Tuesday on the Sky Sports website and apps.
The third episode aired on Friday, December 4, with repeats on-demand, and the show will run throughout the first four months of the Premier League season.
Do the Premier League's statistical leaders make the cut in this month's XI, or do the fans' favourites earn starting berths? Tune into Sky Sports Premier League to find out...
