Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard has topped this week's Sky Sports Power Rankings.

The 25-year-old weaved through the Southampton defence to open the scoring at St Mary's on Sunday and also assisted Diego Costa (No 3, up 10 places) during the Blues' 2-0 win.

Team-mates Marcus Alonso (No 8, up one place) and Thibaut Courtois (No 9, up nine places) also made the top 10 after recording Antonio Conte's fourth league clean sheet on the bounce.

Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho (No 2, up one place) continued his scintillating form, crafting three goals during the Reds' 4-2 win at Crystal Palace, with goalscorer Roberto Firmino rising 11 places to No 6.

Last week's chart-topper Xherdan Shaqiri slipped six places to No 7 after the Stoke midfielder was withdrawn through injury against Swansea, while Joe Allen (No 4, no move) assisted two Wilfried Bony (No 13, up 87 places) goals to secure a 3-1 win.
