League One:
Francis Okoronkwo- Lincoln City- 3rd out of 24
Okoronkwo made two appearances off the bench this week, as Lincoln continued their impressive run of form under Michael Skubala.
The forward replaced Freddie Draper on 79 minutes with the game level on Saturday, before two late goals saw them triumph over Luton Town to go third.
The Imps’ ten-match unbeaten run came to an end in midweek though, as they bowed out of the Carabao Cup after a 2-1 home loss to Chelsea, with the loanee being introduced on 85 minutes.
Lincoln are away to Peterborough United next.
Martin Sherif- Rotherham United- 21st out of 24
Sherif was again absent from Matt Hamshaw’s matchday squad, with the forward still ruled out due to a hamstring injury.

Heath continued his electric start to life at Accrington last weekend, providing the assist for Charlie Caton’s 73rd minute winner as John Doolan’s side made it back-to-back wins with a 2-1 away victory against MK Dons.
The young forward has delighted the Stanley crowd thus far, and was heavily involved in Saturday’s triumph, driving down the line before delivering a low cross for Caton to convert from close range.
Accrington are at home to high-flying Walsall next.
