ARSENAL

Alexis Sanchez looks set to leave Arsenal this month before his contract expires in the summer, and the stats suggest he has once again been the Gunners' standout player - despite failing to hit last season's form to date.

The Chile international has scored seven league goals and claimed three assists, created 46 chances and won a club-high 118 duels - versatility that has attracted interest from both Manchester clubs and Chelsea.

Power Ranking points: 35,642

Runner-up: Mesut Ozil (30,216)

BOURNEMOUTH

bou

Josh King enjoyed a sensational 2016/17 at Bournemouth with 16 goals - but he has only managed two so far this term, and only taken nine shots on target.

Despite his dip in form in front of goal, the Norwegian is currently the top-ranked player at the Vitality Stadium - boosted by his three assists and club-high totals of 40 completed dribbles and 23 chances created.

Power Ranking points: 20,393

Runner-up: Nathan Ake (19,374)

BRIGHTON

BRI

Pascal Gross was almost certainly last summer's bargain signing, joining the Seagulls for just £2.55m from FC Ingolstadt 04.

In his first season on England's south coast, Gross has scored four goals, recorded five assists, created 24 chances and completed 45 crosses.

Power Ranking points: 27,541

Runner-up: Shane Duffy (24,429)

BURNLEY

burnley

James Tarkowski has excelled at Burnley this season and commanded the back line following Michael Keane's big-money move to Everton in the summer.

Burnley sit seventh in the Premier League table, despite only scoring 19 goals. For context, only three clubs have scored fewer in the Premier League: Swansea, Brighton and West Brom.

Conversely, only three clubs have conceded fewer goals than Burnley this term: Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea - stats that highlight Tarkowski's impact on the Clarets' incredible run.

The centre-back has won a remarkable 158 duels and 105 aerials, made 152 clearances, 33 tackles, 33 blocks and 32 interceptions.

Power Ranking points: 31,738

Runner-up: Nick Pope (29,900)

CHELSEA

chelsea

Chelsea wing-back Marcos Alonso has scored six goals - two from outside the box - that's merely four shy of misfiring £70m summer signing Alvaro Morata.

The Spaniard's stats reveal an effective balance of attacking and defensive qualities - taking 18 shots on target, creating 23 chances, but also making 39 tackles, 50 clearances, winning 45 aerials and 117 duels.

Power Ranking points: 41,163

Runner-up: Alvaro Morata (34,994)

CRYSTAL PALACE

crystal palace

Just 255 Power Ranking points divide the Eagles' top two players this term, with Andros Townsend edging ahead of Wilfried Zaha - boosted by having played 300 additional minutes.

Despite only scoring the once, Townsend has recorded four assists and taken 1,115 touches, creating 28 chances and firing a club-high 30 successful crosses.

Power Ranking points: 25,885

Runner-up: Wilfried Zaha (25,630)

EVERTON

EVERTON

Rooney scored on his second league debut for Everton in August and fired an outrageous goal from the half-way line to cap a hat-trick against West Ham in November.

The former England skipper has now scored 10 goals for the Toffees - seven more than any other player - and has recorded club-high totals for shots on target (14) and chances created (20) - stats that also suggest a lack of firepower at the club.

Power Ranking points: 27,063

Runner-up: Gylfi Sigurdsson (24,650)

HUDDERSFIELD

huddersfield

Aaron Mooy has pulled ahead of centre-back Christopher Schindler as Huddersfield's top player in recent weeks after a string of heavy defeats.

The Australia international has made a big impact since joining the Terriers for £10m from Manchester City last summer, scoring four goals, recording two assists, creating 24 chances, making 1,007 successful passes, 68 tackles and 1,697 touches.

Power Ranking points: 29,391

Runner-up: Christopher Schindler (25,424)

LEICESTER CITY

leicester

Riyad Mahrez has rekindled his title-winning form of two years ago in recent months and has seven goals - three from outside the box - and seven assists so far this season.

The winger has taken more shots on target than any player at the club with 20 and he has club-high totals for dribbles completed (51) and successful crosses (16).

Power Ranking points: 41,027

Runner-up: Wilfried Ndidi (30,511)

LIVERPOOL

liverpool

Mohamed Salah has hit the ground running at Anfield with 18 goals and six assists to date, catapulting him to the heady heights of runner-up in the overall Sky Sports Power Rankings' season chart.

Like Mahrez, Salah has scored three from range and has club-high totals for shots on target (44), chances created (35) and dribbles completed (55).

In term of Power Ranking points, there is no competition at Anfield: Salah's closest competitor, Roberto Firmino, has 17,000 fewer points.

Power Ranking points: 56,123

Runner-up: Roberto Firmino (39,078)

MAN CITY

man city

Kevin De Bruyne has been in scintillated form this season, helping City to claim 18 successive wins and complete an undefeated run of 22 games before the 4-3 defeat at Anfield on Sunday.

The Belgium international has topped the overall Sky Sports Power Rankings season chart for the majority of this season - but a recent dip in form has seen his lead over Salah slashed to just nine Power Ranking points.

De Bruyne has six goals - four from outside the box - and nine assists to date, having taken a staggering 2,194 touches, and recording club-high totals for chances created (44) and successful crosses (40).

Power Ranking points: 56,132

Runner-up: Raheem Sterling (44,592)

MAN UTD

man utd

David de Gea has shone once again this season, staking his claim as the world's No 1 goalkeeper, with 13 clean sheets, 77 saves and conceding a league-low 16 goals.

His position as United's top player this season may have been threatened by Paul Pogba, had the France international not missed seven league games through a hamstring injury and another three due to suspension.

Power Ranking points: 39,030

Runner-up: Romelu Lukaku (37,408)

NEWCASTLE

newcastle

Perhaps surprisingly, Joselu narrowly emerges as the top player at Newcastle, with four goals and an assist - 898 points ahead of midfielder Mikel Merino.

The Spaniard's conversion rate is impressive, having only mustered 16 shots on target, and he has club-high totals for duels won (153) and aerials won (119).

Power Ranking points: 21,384

Runner-up: Mikel Merino (20,486)

SOUTHAMPTON

soton

Southampton have struggled to score goals again this season as Mauricio Pellegrino battles to keep his job at St Mary's, but Oriol Romeo has once again reigned supreme in the centre of the pitch.

The midfielder has recorded club-high totals across a raft of defensive stats, including successful passes (1,039), touches (1,541), tackles (62), aerials won (53), interceptions (38) and duels won (140).

Power Ranking points: 22,969

Runner-up: Dusan Tadic (19,996)

STOKE

stoke

Unsurprisingly, Xherdan Shaqiri has been Stoke's top player during a sticky run of results that saw Mark Hughes sacked after four and a half years at the club.

Shaqiri is the club's joint-top scorer with Eric Maxim Choup-Moting on four goals and has club-high totals with five assists, 19 shots on target and 23 chances created.

Power Ranking points: 28,393

Runner-up: Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (24,829)

SWANSEA

swansea

Despite Swansea's below-par form, Jordan Ayew has impressed with four goals and two assists. The Ghana international has made 43 tackles - only Kyle Naughton has made more.

Ayew's defensive qualities are further affirmed with a club-high 163 duels won, while no player at the club has completed more than his 39 completed dribbles.

Power Ranking points: 22,525

Runner-up: Lukasz Fabianski (18,940)

TOTTENHAM

tottenham

Harry Kane occupies No 3 spot in the overall Sky Sports Power Rankings season chart - part of a runaway trio including De Bruyne and Salah.

The England striker has also narrowed the gap at the top of the chart with a recent flourish in form, hitting two against Everton on Saturday to become the Premier League's top scorer with 20 to date.

Power Ranking points: 55,722

Runner-up: Christian Eriksen (40,861)

WATFORD

watford

Abdoulaye Doucoure has overtaken team-mate Richarlison in the Sky Sports Power Rankings season chart in recent weeks.

The versatile midfielder has hit seven goals so far and has made more successful passes (1,184), touches (1,748) and interceptions (35) than any other player at the club.

Power Ranking points: 35,996

Runner-up: Richarlison (33,010)

WEST BROM

west brom

While the spotlight shines on West Brom captain Jonny Evans amid a possible big-club move, summer loan arrival Ahmed Hegazi has shone brightest in the stats.

Hegazi has completed a staggering 170 clearances, while also making 21 blocks and winning 111 duels - prompting the Baggies to sign the Egyptian on a permanent basis this month.

Power Ranking points: 20,844

Runner-up: Salomon Rondon (17,079)

WEST HAM

west ham

Manuel Lanzini will be looking over his shoulder as team-mate Marko Arnautovic soars up the Power Rankings chart after a run of superior form, but Lanzini maintains a slender 2,000-point lead over the Austrian and Pedro Obiang.

Lanzini has conjured five assists this season and scored three goals, in addition to a making a club-high 723 successful passes and completing 44 dribbles.

Power Ranking points: 23,880

Runner-up: Pedro Obiang (21,772)
