Centre-back – Dejan Lovren, Southampton
Despite the great form of Curtis Davies at Hull City – the other contender for this spot – there has arguably been no better defender in the league all season than Lovren.
Mauricio Pochettino’s purchase of the Croatian has helped turn the Hampshire club into a defensive behemoth, having conceded just four goals in the league.
Lovren has even produced the goods at the other end and has netted two goals, including the winner against Liverpool at Anfield.
