October Team of the Month

GK: DAVID RAYA (ARSENAL) - Raya went the whole of October without conceding a single goal keeping 3 clean sheets from 3 games. He was massively helped by the defenders in front of him, but he did still make crucial saves when his team required him to.

RB: JURRIEN TIMBER (ARSENAL) - Timber put in solid performances at right back throughout October as Arsenal went the entire month without conceding a goal. He's firmly established himself as the Gunners' first choice right back this season and is beginning to turn into one of the best full backs in the Premier League.

CB: WILLIAM SALIBA (ARSENAL) - Saliba was solid right throughout October as Arsenal kept a clean sheet in every game during the month. He's made such a difference to the Gunners defensively since he's been at the club and if can keep up this kind of form, the Gunners will surely win the title.

CB: GABRIEL (ARSENAL) - Gabriel has slowly grown into a key player for Arsenal since he's been at the club and not just because of his solid defensive displays, but because of the threat he poses in both boxes as well. He was solid right throughout October as Arsenal went the entire month without conceding a goal and he also got an assist to his name when he set up Leandro Trossard's winner against Fulham after flicking on Bukayo Saka's corner.

LB: QUILINDSCHY HARTMAN (BURNLEY) - Hartman registered 3 assists in October which was more than any other player with 2 of them coming in Burnley's win at Wolves. He was good defensively as well as going forward and his performances at both ends were key to Burnley picking up the results they did and climbing out of the relegation zone.

RW: BRYAN MBEUMO (MAN UNITED) - Mbeumo scored 3 times during October as Man United finally found some form and began to climb the table. He's arguably been United's best player this season because of the promising performances he's put in and he's definitely been their best signing.

CM: BRUNO GUIMARAES (NEWCASTLE) - Guimaraes scored 2 goals during October with both of them coming in the games Newcastle won against Forest and Fulham. He makes such a difference to the Magpies when he plays because of his ability to run a game from midfield and the quality he brings to the team.

CM: LESLEY UGOCHUKWU (BURNLEY) - Ugochukwu netted twice during October and put in good all-round performances throughout the month as Burnley climbed out of the relegation zone. He's made a promising start to his loan spell from Chelsea and if he can keep putting in good performances like the ones he put in during October, the Clarets have a good chance of staying up.

LW: PEDRO NETO (CHELSEA) - Neto registered 1 goal and 2 assists during October with one of each coming in Chelsea's win at Forest. His Chelsea career hasn't really kicked off yet but if he can start producing consistently and build on his October numbers, he could become an important player for them.

ST: ERLING HAALAND (MAN CITY) - Haaland carried his red hot scoring form into October as he found the net 3 times with all his goals coming in the games City won. He had 11 goals to his name by the end of the month and without him I'm not sure where City would be.

ST: ELI KROUPI (BOURNEMOUTH) - October was Kroupi's breakthrough month at the age of 19 as he announced himself into the Bournemouth team by scoring 3 goals. He was brought into the team following an injury to Evanilson and he stepped up brilliantly with his goals being key to the Cherries keeping up their strong start to the season.
