Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen has topped the Sky Sports Power Rankings this week.
Eriksen broke the deadlock during a 2-1 win at Stoke - assisted by Dele Alli (No 3, down one place) - before being credited Spurs' second goal, direct from a free-kick - despite Harry Kane claiming the goal via a touch off his shoulder.
Last week's table-topper Mohamed Salah slipped into the runner-up spot after missing Liverpool's 0-0 draw with Everton at Goodison Park.
Newcastle duo Ayoze Perez and Jonjo Shelvey stormed into the top 10 after a 2-1 win at Leicester, with Shelvey opening the scoring and Perez netting what proved to be the match-winner - having also scored against Huddersfield the previous week.
Alexis Sanchez (No 5, up three places) made headway up the rankings after being involved in all three of Manchester United's goals during their pulsating 3-2 win over Manchester City at the Etihad on Saturday.
Paul Pogba levelled a two-goal deficit within 97 seconds to soar 79 places into the No 9 spot, before defender Chris Smalling (No 11, up eight places) completed the remarkable comeback.
Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (No 7, up six places) scored for his fourth game running to equalise against Southampton, before Danny Welbeck (No 8, up 192 places) scored twice to secure a 3-2 win at the Emirates.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace midfielder Luka Milivojevic struck a sumptuous opener - direct from a free-kick - during a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth.
