Every week, BBC pundit Troy Deeney names his Premier League Team of the Week. After the latest round of fixtures, he’s selected a mix of star names and surprise inclusions — but do you agree with his choices?
Goalkeeper
Gianluigi Donnarumma (Manchester City)
The Italian shot-stopper reminded everyone why he’s regarded among the world’s best. His stunning save to deny Bryan Mbeumo was world-class, and his presence continues to give City confidence at the back.
Defenders
Jurrien Timber (Arsenal)
Back to full fitness, Timber was outstanding in Arsenal’s clean-sheet win over Nottingham Forest. Composed, strong, and consistent — he’s looking every bit the top-level defender.
Nordi Mukiele (Sunderland)
Mukiele’s leadership and energy stood out as Sunderland claimed a shutout. A commanding display that lifted those around him.
Cristian Romero (Tottenham)
The Spurs centre-back was a warrior against West Ham, setting the tone with his aggression and quality. Deeney praised him as a leader who raises the standards of those beside him.
Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa)
After criticism in recent weeks, Mings produced a solid performance at Everton. He shut down Beto after a tricky start and made sure Villa came away with a clean sheet.
Midfielders
Moises Caicedo (Chelsea)
Caicedo lit up Chelsea’s midfield with a stunning strike against Brentford. Week in, week out, he’s been one of Chelsea’s standout players.
Pape Matar Sarr (Tottenham)
Sarr looked liberated under Thomas Frank, surging forward with energy and confidence. Young, hungry, and improving rapidly — he’s quickly becoming a key man for Spurs.
Martin Zubimendi (Arsenal)
The Spaniard ran the show in Arsenal’s win over Forest. His first goal was brilliantly struck, his header clinical, and his overall control of midfield showed why Arsenal made him their playmaker.
Forwards
Kevin Schade (Brentford)
A tireless display capped with a goal against Chelsea. If Brentford are to stay up, Schade’s energy and end product will be vital.
Phil Foden (Manchester City)
Foden thrived in the Manchester derby, silencing doubts about his form with a dazzling performance. Sharp, confident, and smiling again — he was at his best.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
Five touches in the United box produced two goals and a shot off the post. Haaland reminded everyone he’s still the most lethal striker in world football.
Manager of the Week
Thomas Frank (Tottenham)
Guiding Spurs to another strong result, Frank continues to impress. His squad rotation has been spot on, keeping stars happy while maintaining momentum. Even after the win over West Ham, he was demanding more — a sign of high standards.
