Troy Deeney names Premier League Team of the Week after latest round

BBC football pundit Troy Deeney has named his Premier League Team of the Week after the latest round of matches, highlighting a mix of goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and attackers who impressed across the weekend.

The lineup features Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, Crystal Palace full-back Tyrick Mitchell, Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi, Newcastle United centre-back Sven Botman, Nottingham Forest winger Neco Williams, Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, Fulham forward Alex Iwobi, Leeds United midfielder Anton Stach, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Sunderland forward Wilson Isidor, Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike and Leeds manager Daniel Farke.

Dubravka was singled out for a string of crucial saves that helped Burnley secure a point against Nottingham Forest, while Mitchell produced a dynamic showing in Palace’s win over West Ham, contributing a goal and relentless work rate on the left flank. Senesi and Botman formed a disciplined central pairing, with Senesi continuing to develop into a key figure for Bournemouth after transfers away, and Botman delivering a steady display despite Newcastle’s injury challenges.

The midfield contingent included Gravenberch, who found the net in Liverpool’s victory over Everton as the Reds extended their perfect start to five matches. Iwobi supplied a goal and an assist in Fulham’s win over Brentford, with a measured pass that unlocked opportunities for teammates. Anton Stach has been a driving force for Leeds, combining energy with physical presence, while Fernandes was recognized for reaching a historic milestone, scoring his 100th Manchester United goal in a must-win scenario. Sunderland’s Wilson Isidor was cited for continuing to adapt to top-flight football with a sharp finish against Aston Villa, and Hugo Ekitike has impressed at Liverpool, continuing to justify a big-money move with steady contributions week after week.

Leeds’ manager Daniel Farke also earned a place in the selection after guiding his side to a win away at Wolves, a result Deeney described as a striking turnaround from last season’s late-season struggles.
