Just nine Premier League gameweeks remain. Arsenal look set to claim the title, while Tottenham Hotspur are edging closer and closer to the relegation zone – but who were this week’s best individual performers?
We’ve included players from clubs such as Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea in our team of the week – who made it into your XI?
GK: Melker Ellborg
Sunderland fans may have been worried when Robin Roefs was ruled out with an injury, but Melker Ellborg put forth an excellent shift between the sticks in his stead.
He made four saves to maintain Sunderland’s clean sheet away at Leeds United, as the Black Cats picked up a 1-0 win on the road.
RB: Kieran Trippier
Kieran Trippier isn’t the player he used to be, but he rolled back the years when Newcastle took on Manchester United in midweek.
Despite spending most of the game with ten men, Trippier put forth some diligent defensive work and found the assist for the Toon’s winning goal.
CB: James Tarkowski
James Tarkowski has quietly been one of the best defenders in the Premier League this season – he’s limited, but very effective.
He tormented his former club on Tuesday night, scoring a powerful header and making a number of clearances to prevent Burnley from finding the back of the net.
CB: James Hill
Once again, Bournemouth’s James Hill makes his way into our team of the week. At the beginning of the season, the Cherries’ defence looked particularly leaky, but they have now conceded just three goals in their last five games.
Their game against Brentford was ditchwater-dull, but Hill had plenty of work to do to ensure that Bournemouth didn’t concede.
