Manchester City's Raheem Sterling has topped the Power Rankings this week.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (No 3) took centre stage in a pulsating north London derby, coolly slotting Arsenal ahead from 12 yards on 10 minutes and hitting a stunning second-half leveller before his side emerged 4-2 winners.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (No 4) edged one place up the chart after Liverpool snatched a 96th-minute winner in the Merseyside derby with Divock Origi pouncing on a Jordan Pickford error.

Last week's table-topper Aaron Mooy (No 5) took a slip after his side suffered a 2-1 defeat to Brighton, while Southampton's Stuart Armstrong (No 6) maintained his goal streak during a 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend (No 7) hit a screamer in a 2-0 win over struggling Burnley, while West Ham's Felipe Anderson (No 10) was back among the top performers after sealing a 3-0 win in stoppage time at Newcastle.
