Phil Foden: Is Manchester City midfielder 'the best in the Premier League right now'?

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said after Sunday's Manchester derby that midfielder Phil Foden was the "best player in the Premier League right now".

And Foden has a strong case for that accolade, having scored six goals and provided an assist in his past seven league games.

Using the past 10 rounds of Premier League matches, BBC Sport look at who might currently be its 'best' player.

Foden scored twice in a 3-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday as City stayed firmly in the hunt for the title.

The 23-year-old has scored 11 Premier League goals this season and assisted seven - putting him joint-eighth in the rankings for those categories.
