Thursday 5 November 2015 13:13, UK
Laurent Koscielny has topped the Sky Sports Power Rankings this week, ahead of team-mate Nacho Monreal.
The Arsenal defender, who was left out of the starting line-up against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night due to a hip injury, has recorded 13,871 points to establish himself as statistically the most in-form player in the Premier League.
Leicester forward Jamie Vardy maintained his No 3 spot after scoring the Foxes' third goal in their 3-2 victory over West Brom last Saturday. The 28-year-old, who has now scored in eight successive league games, also retained the Sky Sports Season Rankings No 1 spot for a fourth consecutive week.
Tottenham striker Harry Kane moved up to No 5 after scoring his fourth goal in two games against Aston Villa on Monday night, while Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez was toppled from the Power Rankings summit to No 9 after spending three weeks at the top.
Fellow Gunners Mesut Ozil (No 7), Petr Cech (No 8) and Olivier Giroud (No 10) also occupy places in the top 10.
Everton's Arouna Kone rocketed 275 places to No 28 after hitting a hat-trick during the Toffees' 6-2 demolition of Sunderland. Southampton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg (No 115, up 223 places) and team-mate Maya Yoshida (142, up 145) were the other big risers this week.
Sunderland goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon paid the price for leaking six goals against Everton, recording the lowest points tally on matchday 11 with -9,610.
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.
