Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez tops Sky Sports' Power Rankings

GRAPHIC

Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez has topped the Power Rankings and also leads the season chart as we enter the final week.

Sanchez has spearheaded the Gunners' resurgence in form, scoring and assisting during a 2-0 win at Southampton on Wednesday and again in the 4-1 win at Stoke on Saturday.

The Chile international has also leapfrogged Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard in the Power Rankings season chart with fewer than 5,000 points dividing the pair.

Arsene Wenger's chances of a 21st consecutive top-four finish have also been boosted by the form of keeper Petr Cech (No 3, up 11 places), Olivier Giroud (No 4, up 11 places) and Mesut Ozil (No 6, up 50 places).

Last week's chart topper Kevin De Bruyne slipped four places to No 5 this week, despite Manchester City claiming a narrow 2-1 win over Leicester on Saturday.

Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho (No 2, up 52 places) converted two spectacular solo efforts during the Reds' 4-0 win at West Ham to ensure Champions League qualification remains in their own hands.

Chelsea sealed their fifth Premier League title with a 1-0 win at West Brom on Friday, with Diego Costa dropping six places to No 8, while team-mates Marcos Alonso (No 9, down six places) and Cesar Azpilicueta (No 10, up 12 places) also made the top 10.
