Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd)
P5 W1 D3 L1 G6 A1

The Manchester United midfielder was directly involved in seven goals in only five appearances, with two of his goals being great long-range efforts. Only in one match did he fail to score or assist.

Josko Gvardiol (Man City)
P5 W5 D0 L0 G2 A1 CS2

The centre-back made his mark at both ends of the pitch as Manchester City won all five matches in the title race. He scored and assisted against Luton Town, got the opening goal at Nottingham Forest, and contributed to two clean sheets.

Kai Havertz (Arsenal)
P6 W5 D0 L1 G4 A3

The Arsenal star had a hand in seven goals as his team won five of their six April matches. Only in two of six appearances did Havertz not score or set up a goal.

Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)
P6 W3 D1 L2 G5 A0

Crystal Palace's striker scored five goals in six outings, netting against Man City before getting braces in back-to-back wins over West Ham United and Newcastle United.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
P4 W2 D2 L0 G7 A1

Palmer led the league for goals (seven) and goal involvements (eight) despite making only four appearances.
He scored a hat-trick in a 4-3 win over Man Utd that included equalising and winning goals in second-half stoppage time, before netting four times in a 6-0 victory over Everton that moved him level with Erling Haaland in the race for the Castrol Golden Boot.

Jordan Pickford (Everton)
P6 W4 D1 L1 CS4 S23

Everton's goalkeeper kept four clean sheets in six matches to help his team secure safety. He was made to work for his shutouts, too, making 23 saves, the third-most in April, with seven of them coming in the victory over Liverpool, Everton's first home Merseyside derby win since 2010.
