Hector Bellerin: Bellerin played the full 90 minutes of Real Betis' 2-0 defeat to Villarreal in Sunday's La Liga clash, making a costly error to give the ball away to ex-Gunner Francis Coquelin, who set up Arnaut Danjuma for the game's opening goal.
William Saliba: Saliba started for Marseille in a 2-0 defeat to Ligue 1 champions Lille and also found himself at fault for the opener - scored by Jonathan David - before redeeming himself to prevent Burak Yilmaz from firing home, one of his five tackles on the day.
Matteo Guendouzi: Guendouzi was handed the captain's armband for Les Olympiens in that defeat and posted a 91% pass accuracy, but he lost possession 10 times as Marseille fell to a disappointing loss.
Lucas Torreira: Torreira came off the bench for the final 25 minutes of Fiorentina's defeat to Napoli, and despite putting in a good shift - making three tackles and winning four out of five ground duels - he could not inspire a late comeback.
Konstantinos Mavropanos: Mavropanos played the full 90 minutes for Stuttgart in a 3-1 Bundesliga win over Hoffenheim and put in an impressive shift - scoring his side's second goal on the hour mark and winning four out of five ground duels.
Reiss Nelson: Nelson made the Feyenoord squad for the first time after shaking off a groin injury but was an unused substitute as Vitesse won 2-1.
Daniel Ballard: Ballard started and played the full 90 for Millwall in a 1-0 win over Barnsley in the Championship, making four clearances and three tackles to help preserve his side's clean sheet.
