5) Ryan Shawcross (Stoke City)
Stoke may have started the season slowly, but this no nonsense defender is still well and truly his normal self. He bundled in a crucial equaliser against Hull City last weekend. Rating: 8.21.

Two games, two goals and two clean sheets. You can’t ask for much more from a 20-year-old defender who has already taken the Premier League by storm. Rating: 8.24.

Put in a Man-of-the-Match performance on his competitive debut against Burnley, and followed that up with another solid performance against Leicester City to help the Blues win two out of two. Rating: 8.34.
