You vs WhoScored: Premier League Form Rankings Ahead of Gameweek 35

Gameweek 33 proved to be a crucial one at both ends of the Premier League, with Chelsea avoiding defeat at the Emirates before winning at Leicester in midweek to all but secure the title. Nigel Pearson's side, meanwhile, picked up a crucial win before their defeat on Wednesday, while Hull earned 6 points to give themselves a great chance of survival.

There were some impressive individual performances over the past week, some of which have ensured that WhoScored.com's form rankings have changed substantially ahead of the run in, as we reveal the players approaching the end of the season in flying colours.

Goalkeepers

Shooting to the top of the rankings for goalkeepers is Hull's veteran stopper Steve Harper, who has helped the Tigers to back-to-back wins and a huge step towards Premier League safety. Steve Bruce's side kept clean sheets in each of those two victories, with Harper playing a key role, producing 14 saves over the two matches and earning a man of the match rating of 8.42 against Liverpool last time out.

With Arsenal up next for Hull, perhaps a move for West Ham's Adrián, back in the top 8 form rankings for keepers with a score of 7.14, would be more wise given the Hammers host a Burnley side without a goal in 5.

Defenders

It's John Stones who leaps to the summit of the leaderboard in terms of in-form defenders, netting his first ever goal for Everton in a comprehensive 3-0 win over United. The Toffees are much improved at the back lately and the youngster has played an integral role, earning WhoScored.com's man of the match award with a rating of 8.92 last time out.

Elsewhere Chelsea's Cesar Azpilicueta and Arsenal's Héctor Bellerín have moved into the top 10, with the Spaniards having faced off against one another last weekend. The Blues will be hoping to wrap up the title at home to Palace while Arsenal travel to Hull, so both will be confident of keeping things tight once again.

Midfielders

At the top of the form rankings for midfielders, West Brom captain Chris Brunt is a surprise inclusion. The versatile Ulsterman has picked up 3 assists in his last 3 appearances, helping the Baggies to back-to-back clean sheets from a makeshift left-back position in recent weeks for an excellent WhoScored rating of 8.29 over his last 3 appearances.

Robbie Brady is Brunt's closest challenger after impressive scores against Palace (8.72) and Liverpool (8.10), and there is plenty of great value to be had in midfield right now. Marc Albrighton comes very cheap and has impressed of late, netting Leicester's opener in defeat to Chelsea in midweek for a rating of 8.02, with a Newcastle side in free fall up next for the Foxes.

Forwards

Christian Benteke remains at the top of the chart for forwards despite drawing a blank against City last time out, still managing to attain a respectable WhoScored rating of 7.31 at the Etihad for an average score of 8.55 over his last three appearances. Alexis Sanchez and Sergio Agüero are on the Belgian's heels, with the latter now back among the goals and facing a Tottenham side against whom he's netted 7 in his last 3 meetings.

Elsewhere Connor Wickham and Graziano Pellè have joined the top 10 having netted last time out, with the two set to go head-to-head in the reverse fixture of a meeting that ended 8-0 to the Saints last year, with the latter on the scoresheet twice.
