Dimitri Payet - West Ham

MERSE SAYS: Dimitri Payet is different class. He's one of the top footballers in the Premier League. The Frenchman has tremendous ability and he's such a clever player on and off the ball. I can't talk highly enough of him.

MERSE SAYS: Mark Noble has got to be one of the unluckiest players in England. How he's not getting into this England squad is beyond me. He has put in some outstanding performances.

Alongside Payet, he's been instrumental for West Ham this season and they have been their two best players all season.

Christian Eriksen - Tottenham

MERSE SAYS: Another top player! Christian Eriksen has been extremely consistent for Tottenham. He gets big goals for them, good assists and that's what you need from your big players when you are near the top of the Premier League. You have to keep performing when the pressure is on and he's doing that!
