The last Premier League gameweek of November is behind us. With a hectic December schedule facing clubs across the country, who is in a good position ahead of the festive period?
Teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City all picked up wins this week – but did any of them make it into our team of the week?
GK: Emi Martinez
Only three goalkeepers kept clean sheets in the Premier League this weekend. Of the three, none of them made as many saves as Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez.
In a feisty Midlands Derby, Martinez made six saves against Wolves to give the Villans the local bragging rights.
RB: Reece James
Reece James’ wonderful season at Chelsea just got even better as he put in an heroic performance against Arsenal, despite the Blues being reduced to ten men.
James led by example, covering every blade of grass and finding the assist to give Chelsea the lead early on in the second half. A true captain’s performance.
CB: Malick Thiaw
Malick Thiaw scored a brace at the weekend as Newcastle United thumped Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday evening.
While he couldn’t maintain a clean sheet for his team, his two goals have given us more than enough reason to include him in our team of the week.
CB: Trevoh Chalobah
Like Thiaw, Trevoh Chalobah isn’t in this XI for his defensive contributions over the weekend – instead, he’s here because of the goal he scored.
Few goals will be more important for Chelsea this season – it spared them from defeat against the top team in the division, which looked like a certainty after Moises Caicedo was sent off.
