BBC football pundit Troy Deeney has unveiled his Premier League Team of the Week following the latest round of matches. The selection features a mix of established and emerging talents across various clubs.
Among the standout performers, James Trafford of Leeds earned his spot after a strong display at Nottingham Forest, keeping a clean sheet. Brentford's Keane Lewis-Potter was recognised for his defensive and attacking contributions, including a goal against Tottenham. Hull City's Nobel Mendy was highlighted as a powerful defender who also scored.
Chelsea saw two players make the cut: Maxence Lacroix, praised for his experienced debut and an assist, and Cole Palmer, who Deeney believes is set for a breakout season. Brighton's Maxim de Cuyper was included after scoring two goals against Aston Villa, while Manchester City's Marc Guehi was selected as a holding midfielder, scoring an equaliser against Bournemouth.
Vitaly Janelt of Brentford was noted for his dominant play and a goal against Aston Villa. Arsenal's Christos Tzolis, a new signing from Club Brugge, was lauded for his goals, assists, and tenacious influence. Newcastle's Anthony Elanga completed the attacking line-up, with Deeney noting his improved performance under a new manager. Sergej Jakirovic of Hull City was named Manager of the Week for his tactical approach against Manchester United.
