With just three months left of the Premier League season, players hitting form in the latter stages of the season can have a huge effect on where their team finishes come the end of May. This blog post will analyse and select the most in form starting eleven.
Goalkeeper: In goal we have Ben Foster, the former Manchester United man has revitalised his rollercoaster career in recent months for a Watford side struggling to find form. The ex England international has been in the news recently not only for his outstanding form but because he became the record holder for 'the most saves by one goalkeeper in the division' since records began in 2006. Whether that is an accomplishment for the Watford showstopper or a sign of Watford leaky defending you will have to decide.
Right Back: We have Chris Smalling the England international was one of the names thought to be leaving Manchester United as Ole Gunner Solskjaer looks to inject some energy into the side that was underperforming under Jose. But the ex Fulham man has played with 'the bit between his teeth' in the recent weeks, being aggressive and formidable in defence for the 'Red Devils.'
Centre Back: Making up the first half of the defensive partnership is Cardiff's Sol Bamba, the Ivorian joined Neil Warnock's side whilst they were fighting for promotion into the Championship but the central defenders robust style has worked well in the top flight. Cardiff who sit in 17th faced Southampton at St Mary's last time out where Bamba put his side ahead from a corner, earning him a place in the Premier League's in-form XI.
Centre Back: A long side Bamba, is Vertonghen. The 31 year-old Belgian defender has bolstered Tottenham's defence in recent week's whilst their star man Harry Kane is out with an ankle injury, Spurs have become reliant on their defensive line to ensure they are not leaking goals whilst they struggle to score them. Vertonghen also scored in mid week on the European stage against Borussia Dortmund in a 3-0 home win, putting his side into the driving seat to qualify for the next stage of the competition.
Left Back: On the left hand side of the defensive line we have Scottish captain, Andy Robertson, who signed from Hull for just £8 million in the 2017 summer transfer window. With a lack of first team defenders currently fit at Liverpool Robertson has stepped up to the mark ensuring his side are not out of contention for both the Premier League title and the Champions League. The 24-year-old claimed his sixth assist of the season last weekend, making him the second highest assisting defender only behind Watford Greek international Holebas.
Central Midfield: In midfield we have young midfielder Sean Longstaff, having only made 3 appearances for the magpies in recent weeks the 21-year-old has impressed both many including Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez. The ex Blackpool loanee signed a four-year deal with the club earlier this year and he has certainly impressed since, being involved in a 3-0 win over fellow strugglers Cardiff and the shock 2-1 win over last years champions Manchester City.
Central Midfield: Paul Pogba is our next in form midfielder, the French World Cup winner, has flourished under caretaker manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer, having 15 goal engagements since the sacking of Mourinho in just 12 games. When in full stride the midfield maestro is near on impossible to stop, which is why he has earned his way into the current Premier League in form XI.
Central Midfield: Next to Pogba, we have another Manchester United player in Ander Herrera, the Spanish international has too been impressive since the beginning of Solkjaer's reign. The former Bilbao man has cemented his place alongside Matic and Pogba in the United midfield, acting as the engine room for the side. As well as supplying the opener against Chelsea on Monday night, when he stooped low to head in Pogba's inviting cross to put United into the quarter finals of the FA cup.
Right Wing: On the right side of an attacking three is Raheem Sterling, the England international has excelled under Pep Guardiola bringing composure and intelligence to his game. Sterling is in the form of his life since his controversial move from Liverpool, already achieving his highest scoring tally to date.
Striker: Up front is none other than Manchester City's all time top goalscorer, Sergio Aguero, the prolific Argentinian has scored back to back hat-tricks this month. Almost individually dragging City to the top of the table on goal difference.
Left Wing: Is the South Korean Heung Min Son, since his return from international duty in UAE the Tottenham man has been in sensational form scoring a sensational solo goal in a 3-1 win over Leicester. His goals have helped Spurs stay within five points of the league leaders Liverpool and Man City.
