Ones to watch

West Ham United - Jesse Lingard 

The midfielder is one of the most inform players at the moment, in the Premier League, following his explosive start to life at West Ham. The attacking midfielder is at the centre of the Hammers' attack, driving West Ham forward superbly. 

The 28-year old was brilliant in all of his games so far for the East London side, being the standout player on the pitch. Settling in very quickly, Lingard has nine goals and four assists in 12 games, pushing the Hammers towards the UEFA Champions League places. 

Everton - Dominic Calvert-Lewin

The Toffee's striker is the sixth top goalscorer, with 15 goals, in the league and has been an asset to the Merseyside team. Starting 28 games this season, the striker scored a hat-trick against the Hammers earlier this season in the Carabao Cup.
