Andy Carroll – West Ham United
It is no coincidence that West Ham’s strong run of form recently has coincided with the striker’s return to action. The 25-year-old has provided a distinct aerial threat to the Hammers front line and has looked dangerous whenever the ball has come to him in the box. He may not have scored since his return, but he has laid on two assists for his teammates to help them climb the table to safety after a shaky beginning that saw them earmarked as favourites for relegation.
