Our Premier League team of the week is celebrating the best artists of the weekend, with names from Liverpool, Manchester United and Leeds.
Goalkeeper: Nick Pope – Newcastle United
It was not a great weekend for keepers in the Premier League with clean sheets on a premium. Nick Pope held his in Bournemouth and made vital rescues in every half to ensure that Newcastle left the south coast with a point.
Right back: Noussair Mazraoui-Manchester United
Showed his quality at both ends of the field in a version that was an example of why he was one of the better purchases of Manchester United of recent windows. The Moroccan did not lose any defensive game in an important victory over Chelsea.
Noussair Mazraoui won every duel, on the ground and in the air that he disputed against Chelsea.

Center-back: Joachim Andersen-Fulham
Andersen dominated his defensive duel with Igor Thiago against Brentford and registered a leading 11 clearance. There were also many of the characteristic diagonals from the DANE, including a perfect rake pass to release Ryan Sessegnon in the structure of the third goal. His pinpoint distribution is a real weapon.
Center-back: Matthijs de Ligt-Manchester United
The Dutch defender grows in his career in Manchester United. De Ligt was excellent against Chelsea and showed leadership that was often missing at Old Trafford.
His improvement is clear in the Numer Center-Back this season has won more defensive duels (23) than the 26-year-old in the Premier League.
Left-Back: Tyrick Mitchell-Crystal Palace
A player enjoys the wing-back system from Oliver Glasner in Crystal Palace. Mitchell created three chances in the 2-1 victory at West Ham and scored the winner of Palace with a beautiful right foot volley that was beaten past Alphonse Areola.
Midfield: Ryan Gravenberch – Liverpool
Ryan Gravenberch is perhaps the best midfielder in the Premier League in the current form. Last season, the Dutchman built on his interest on Arne Slot to raise the level again in the early weeks of the campaign.
Against Everton this weekend he became the youngest player ever to both score and help for Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby. An improved target threat has added a layer to the game-winning and press resistance, with his opener at Anfield a beauty. Only 23, there may be more levels to go.

Midfield: Anton Stach – Leeds United
Anton Stach quickly became a cult hero and the German comes up as one of the signing sessions of the season. Stach scored a spectacular first Leeds goal on Wolves and shot in a free kick that Jose Sa left without a chance. He then showed great expectation and consciousness to set up Noah Okafor when Leeds won on the road in Molineux.

Midfield: Bruno Fernandes – Mancehster United
The performance of a captain when Manchester United needed him. Fernandes achieved the victory over Chelsea with his 100th goal for the club and only became the fourth midfielder to achieve a century goals at Old Trafford.
Forward: Alex Iwobi – Fulham
Iwobi produced his best performance of the campaign when Fulham back moated back to beat Brentford in a derby in West London. He broke in an equalizer in Craven Cottage, before a beautiful pass split the Brentford defense, only 90 seconds later to go up Harry Wilson.
Forward: Dominic Calvert-Lewin-Leeds United
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has arrived as a Leeds player. The free signing scored his first goal for the club in Molineux to start a performance that demonstrated what he can offer for Daniel Farke.
He met Jayden Bogle’s cross with a characteristic header to equalize and occupy the entire game of the wolves. A really good exhaust valve for Leeds, buying errors and winning air duels.
Forward: Hugo Ekitike – Liverpool
What a start he had in Liverpool. It is now four goals and an assist in six games for Ekitike, who shot home what turned out to be the winner in the Merseyside Derby in Anfield. In between there were many beautiful films and 100% dribbles completed (4/4).
The Frenchman is a nice all-round football player and not willing to give up the center-forward role to Alexander Isak Hurdig.
