WIlshere (Arsenal) Nolan (West Ham) Henderson (Liverpool)

Sturridge (Liverpool) Giroud (Arsenal) Long (Hull)

Hero of the Week:

Hero of the week has to be Oluvier Giroud after his influential performance and double against Sunderland. Arsenal have always had great build-up play and can rarely be accused of lacking creativity but you still need a man in the box to put the ball in the net and Giroud came up trumps. He also got an assist by flicking the ball on for Rosicky to score a brilliantly worked goal to add to his 2 goals. With the Frenchman being Arsenal's main striker, he could well prove to be their most important player as they chase the top spot - they need him scoring. His link-up play, holding up of the ball, his big stature, and his work-ethic cause mayhem for defenses and this adds another dimension to the Gunners attack.

John Terry is another player who can be considered a hero this week after his stoppage time goal against Everton claimed a vital 3-points. Mourinho has got Terry back to his best at the back which has resulted in Chelsea being able to pick up points even when they haven't been playing well - which is crucial to any title-winning side. At the moment Chelsea are my favorites for the title simply because they are capable of winning ugly whereas Man City and Arsenal seem to have to play well to win games. The key is to not concede when playing bad and with Terry in his 'captain fantastic' form Chelsea look rock solid.

Nipple of the Week:

Believe it or not I haven't got a nipple from last weekends round of fixtures so I've decided to pick out someone whose been doing my head in recently, and that's RVP. Arsenal fans will already know this and will therefore agree with me that he is a sulk. His body language since he got back from injury is very negative and not what you would expect of a world-class player. He's frustrated and fair enough I think everyone at Man Utd at the moment is frustrated but there are players in the team who are working hard unlike RVP. Rooney is tracking back to the point where he is in a left-back position while Evra and Carrick are busting a gut every game.

All players go off the boil every now and then and RVP in bad form despite his penalty over the weekend. His touch is off, he doesn't look sharp, and he is getting frustrated with team-mates. After Man Utd's 2-0 defeat to Olympiacos this morning the Dutchman has claimed his team-mates keep getting in his way? Oh so that's why you missed the best chance of the game when you were in the box by yourself is it? United have struggled this season and I'm hoping RVP doesn't jump ship at the end of the season because they need him but from what I've seen, he seems like the kind of bloke who may just do that.
