Ten Premier League players who have proved us wrong since the turn of the year

6) Olivier Giroud (Arsenal)

Missed the start of the season through injury. Has hit back with nine goals in his last nine games to fire the Gunners into second.

5) Emre Can (Liverpool)

Has shone since Brendan Rodgers introduced the 3-4-3 formation in late December. Now one of the club’s most popular players.
