Martin Dubravka (Newcastle United) – 7.15

Since stepping into the side following Nick Pope’s injury back in December, Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has kept five clean sheets in eight league matches, and helped the Magpies to three wins from four in January.

Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace) – 7.36

Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth) – 7.48

Lisandro Martinez (Man U) – 7.64

Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth) – 7.35

Phil Foden (Man City) – 8.39

Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth) – 8.03

Mateo Kovacic (Man City) – 7.69

Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth) – 7.87

Erling Haaland (Man City) – 8.07

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United) – 8.11

Haaland’s impressive haul is overshadowed only slightly by Newcastle frontman Alexander Isak, whose remarkable scoring form in December continued into January, with a goal against Tottenham and braces against both Wolves and Southampton. The Sweden international has scored 13 goals in his last 10 league outings and now sits just two goals behind Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot.
