As Premier League action resumes this week with Matchday 8 let's look at the top performers this season, we continue our team of the season so far with the midfielders and forwards. Embed from Getty Images Nemanja Matic (Manchester United): The player who many believe to be the key Jose needed to get his United plan into motion, and who pundits have predicted early as a front runner for signing of the season, Matic has served as the heart of United's midfield this season displaying great ability in commanding a defensive line when pressed and in dictating the flow of play when on the offence. Embed from Getty Images Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City): The former Chelsea man is shaping up well sitting in a deeper role among Pep's men. He is providing well for the clinical front-men with a good chance at most assists this season should things continue as they are.

As we reach the midway point of this week's fixtures let's review some of the games played thus far. Man City downs the reigning Champions A mouth watering clash at Stamford Bridge, two form teams went toe-to-toe as Chelsea took on Manchester City. However sudden news of star City man, Sergio Aguero sustaining a broken rib in a car accident in Holland cast doubt in the minds of some supporters as they visited the home of the champions. Neither side was able to make the break at the half, the best chance a driven header from Fernandinho kept out by a quick save from Thibaut Courtois. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte looked visibly dejected when in-form striker Alvaro Morata asked for play to be halted to voluntarily substitute himself expressing concerns for his hamstring. City found the lead in 67th-minute through Kevin de Bruyne, the goal which proved to be the winner.

Matchday 6 of the English Premier League has kicked off with a number of high scoring affairs courtesy of some of the leagues top finishers from last season. To start the weeks proceedings Manchester United travelled to Southampton. Coming off another 3+ goal win many pundits were confident that it would be a confident showing from United against a Southampton side who had made a relatively unremarkable start to the season. However the game was anything but set United being forced to work for the win and seeming shaky throughout. Romelu Lukaku scored an 18th minute goal after following up a powerful header parried by Saints' keeper Fraser Forster. Embed from Getty Images Presiding champions Chelsea made easy work of Stoke winning 4-0 at the Britannia Stadium featuring a hat-trick of goals from Alvaro Morata, hopefully one of many for the Chelsea supporters. Manchester City also continued their confident start to the season with a conclusive home win against Crystal Palace...
