Chelsea's Eden Hazard staves off Leicester's James Maddison and Manchester City duo Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero

Chelsea's Eden Hazard staved off competition from Leicester midfielder James Maddison to top the Power Rankings for a second week running.

However, the Belgian had his commanding lead atop the chart slashed after a lacklustre display in a 0-0 draw with West Ham on Sunday - a result that ended the Blues' perfect win record this term.

In contrast, Leicester midfielder Maddison soared into runner-up spot after bamboozling Huddersfield from set pieces during a 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium.
