DM: Michael Carrick (Manchester United)
Still a top performer and key player for this United side, Michael Carrick has been excellent in the holding midfield role recently.
MC: Ander Herrera (Manchester United)
A player bang in form, Ander Herrera has performed excellently since being made more of a regular for van Gaal’s side.
MC: Yaya Toure (Manchester City)
Scorer of a fine goal in the defeat to Crystal Palace, Yaya Toure still looks one of few truly oustanding players in this City team.
