RISING STOCK

Claude Puel

The Frenchman has brought some stability to Leicester following a turbulent 18 months, lifting them to eighth, and is shaking off the journeyman tag by trying to reduce the average age of their title-winning side.

Jimmy Dunne

The former Manchester United trainee, now with Burnley, helped his on-loan club Accrington overtake Luton Town at the top of League Two by beating the Hatters. Still only 20, the Louth defender may earn an Ireland U-21 call-up this week.

Sean Maguire

Another week and another highlight from Maguire (right), even though his fourth goal in three matches since his comeback from injury couldn’t prevent Preston losing to Fulham. Looks a cert to make his first senior Ireland start in Turkey.
