Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons need your help if they are to be named the Premier League's Player of Matchweek!
A new initiative by the Premier League this season, each week, eight players across the competition are shortlisted for the title following their performances in the matchweek.
And this week, we've had two of our players nominated with both Dom and Xavi shortlisted after our stellar second-half fightback against Manchester City on Sunday - coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
First up, Dominic Solanke is nominated for the prize after he bagged both of our goals in the draw with the Citizens.
Having shaken off any rust that might have built up over his six months on the sidelines, our number 19 is quickly finding his feet back on the pitch with four goals in his last four games.
His first against the Citizens was superb number nine play, running off the shoulder of the defender before chopping back inside and finishing through a crowd of players.
His second... well, words can't really do it any justice. So why not watch it again below...
Xavi meanwhile continues to grow in a Spurs shirt.
A major acquisition in the summer from RB Leipzig, the attack-minded midfielder is looking stronger, quicker and more relentless with every game. Plus, he is a real maverick on the ball, able to beat a man or find that killer pass.
He did just that on a number of occasions against City. Not only did he break a record in the Premier League this season for the most defence splitting passes from a single player in a single game as we drew with Pep Guardiola's side, but he also grabbed another assist with the key pass for Dom's opener.
But the midfielder is so much more than brilliant on the ball. He is combative and determined, not easily shaken off the ball and ever-eager to win the ball back. And, generally, he does just that.
For this latest prize, our duo are up against six other players - Manchester United's Casemiro, Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike, Chelsea's Joao Pedro, Arsenal's Noni Madueke, Sunderland's Habib Diarra and Brentford's Caoimhin Kelleher.
To be named Player of Matchweek, Dom and Xavi are relying on your help as it is fans votes which decide this one - the link to vote is below...
