Five Players To Watch When The Premier League Resumes

The international break has halted Premier League football matches across

1) Anthony Martial- Manchester United: The expensive youngster has had a scintillating start to his Premier League career, netting 3 goals in 4 appearances. And though he couldn’t continue his red hot form at the Emirates, the French international still displayed rare glimpse of what he is capable of, and had it not been for a wonderful save from Arsenal’s stopper Petr Cech before half time, the 19-year old could have been on the score sheet.

2) Alexis Sanchez- Arsenal: It was a case of being foolish to write off the Chilean’s attributes after a slow start to the season. Not surprisingly, Sanchez is rapidly regaining his form once again. After a mouthwatering hat-trick at Leicester, he was again at the mix of things when Arsenal destroyed Manchester United at the Emirates. First, he deftly turned in a Mesut Ozil’s low cross to fire his side to a deserved lead after immense pressure early on.

Then, he exacerbated United’s misery when he sent in a screamer from 20 yards to send the home faithful into raptures.

3) Sergio Aguero- Manchester City: The Argentine increased his goal tally of the season to 6 with a five-goal thriller against Newcastle last week. The usual Aguero antics.

4) Kevin De Bruyne- Manchester City: If the Chelsea exodus wasn’t all gleaming for the Belgium international, however, the former Wolfsburg star has settled on his return to England – 3 goals in 4 appearances, De Bruyne has become a key part of Manuel Pellegrini’s plan. A wonderful acquisition indeed.

5) Petr Cech- Arsenal: It was beyond ludicrous when Chelsea decided to sell their top prized asset to a London rival. Petr Cech is arguably one of the top signings of the summer. The goalkeeper currently has a save percentage of 81.56%, the highest in the league, and currently boasts 4 clean sheet this season. With another stunning heroic between the sticks against Manchester United, manager Arsene Wenger must have been delighted to have splashed the cash on the 33-year old.
