Leicester midfielder Riyad Mahrez has finally topped the Sky Sports Power Rankings after spending seven of the last 12 weeks in the top 10.
The Algerian scored a hat-trick in the Foxes' 3-0 win over Swansea on Saturday, which also moved him to No 1 in the Sky Sports Season Rankings - above record-breaking team-mate Jamie Vardy.
Vardy maintained his No 5 position in this week's Power Rankings, while Leicester defender Christian Fuchs moved into No 2.
Everton duo Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku - last week's top two - tumbled to No 6 and No 3, respectively, while Watford's Troy Deeney rose 28 places to No 4 after converting a penalty during the Hornets' 2-0 victory over Norwich.
Marko Arnautovic scored both of Stoke's goals in their 2-0 victory over Manchester City on Saturday and shot 76 places up the charts to No 7.
Arsenal's Mesut Ozil returned to the top 10 at No 8 after setting up Joel Campbell for the Gunners' first goal during their 3-1 win against Sunderland at the Emirates. As a result, Black Cats goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon continued his see-saw Power Rankings performance this season - plummeting 282 places to No 336.
The Power Rankings methodology reflects a player's performance over the previous five weeks - with each preceding week worth fewer points. This means the Power Rankings reflect the in-form players of the moment.

The Sky Sports Power Rankings will be updated each week during the season, so be sure to keep an eye on the big movers...
