Premier League team of the week: Gameweek 9

Premier League team of the week: Gameweek 9

Quite the weekend in the Premier League, wasn't it?

10 games, 40 goals, Manchester United getting smashed by a rampant Liverpool 5-0 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea putting seven past a Norwich side who look desperately, desperately, desperately out of their depth at this level.

There was also fun elsewhere as Manchester City cruised past Brighton, at the Emirates Stadium as a resurgent Arsenal wiped the floor with Aston Villa, and also in east London; as West Ham catapulted themselves into the top four with victory over a lifeless Spurs.

But, of course, there can only be 11 players to make it into 90min's prestigious team of the week - so here are the lucky ones who made the cut...

GK: Lukasz Fabianski (West Ham) - It wasn't a great week for goalkeepers, truth be told. Emi Martinez saved a penalty for Villa against Arsenal, but did also concede three against his former club, allowing Fabianski, who made four saves against Spurs - including one point blank from Harry Kane - to secure the nod as best shot-stopper. RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) - Manchester United were all over the place against Liverpool but there still needed to be quality from Jurgen Klopp's side to inflict a mauling. Alexander-Arnold had spadefuls of it, grabbing yet another assist with a fizzing low ball across the six-yard box. RCB: Jonny Evans (Leicester) - Muzzling Brentford's front two of Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney isn't for everybody, but Evans was more than up for the challenge in west London. Makes Brendan Rodgers' defence look 100x more secure. LCB: Antonio Rudiger (Chelsea) - Has a player ever been more liberated by a change of manager and system? We'll never have a definitive answer for that, but Rudiger sure is loving life as the most advanced left-sided centre-back the world has ever seen. LB: Andy Robertson (Liverpool) - Getting stuck in has never been a problem for Robbo, and it was another all-action display from Liverpool's other full-back. Tore United shreds to going forward, too, in trademark fashion.
