Power Rankings cover

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has topped the Sky Sports Power Rankings this week.

Lukaku grabbed an injury-time brace during the Toffees' 4-0 win over Hull on Saturday to become the league's top scorer on 21 goals, having reportedly rejected a contract extension at Goodison Park last week.

Bournemouth forward Josh King kept his place at No 2 in the charts after assisting Benik Afobe (No 36, up 144 places) to seal a 2-0 win against strugglers Swansea.

Riyad Mahrez (No 3, up 26 places) returned to the Power Rankings top 10 for the first time this season after finding the back of the net in his second successive league game during the Foxes' 3-2 win at West Ham.

Team-mate Jamie Vardy (No 9, up 15 places) was also among the goals at the London Stadium, while fellow goalscorer Robert Huth (No 14, up 52 places) also made the top 20.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane continued to slip down the chart due to his absence through injury, but midfielders Dele Alli (No 6, up five places) and Christian Eriksen (No 7, up 34 places) made the top 10 after both scored during Spurs' 2-1 win over Southampton.

West Brom defender Craig Dawson (No 5, up 65 places) piled more pressure on Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger with a headed brace and securing a 3-1 win over the Gunners on Saturday.
