PL Table 13/10/26
The Premier League returned from the international break with goals, unexpected results and several outstanding individual performances. Manchester City delivered a commanding victory over Liverpool at Anfield, while Arsenal edged Leeds United in a closely contested match. Chelsea, meanwhile, produced one of the weekend’s most emphatic results with a five-goal performance against Bournemouth who are still searching for their first win.
Brighton maintained their strong position with a win over Sunderland, while several other fixtures produced impressive individual displays despite mixed team results. Our Premier League Team Of The Week Of Match week 6 rewards players who made a clear impact through goals, assists, defensive work, creativity and goalkeeping.
Like our Premier League Team of the Week XI from match week 5 there are several players from Enzo Maresca’s red hot Manchester City who made it 6 wins from 6, while promoted team Coventry City had several players make the XI off the back of their 4-1 win over Newcastle. Arsenal and Brighton both had players in the XI this week as the clubs continued their great start to the season. Chelsea and Everton both had players selected after solid outings which moved them up the table.
Manchester United and Spurs who shared a 1-1 tie on Saturday did not do enough to have a player in the XI which shows the poor form both clubs are in although Spurs are certainly looking better while United look lost and off the pace.
Without further a do here is the best XI in a 4-3-3 formation.
Goalkeeper and defenders
1. Gianluigi Donnarumma (Manchester City) – Goalkeeper
Donnarumma earns his place after an excellent display against Liverpool. His six saves and nine recoveries helped City secure a 3-0 win at Anfield, where Liverpool struggled to break through.
2. Nordi Mukiele (Sunderland) – Right-back
Although Sunderland lost 2-0 to Brighton, Mukiele delivered a determined defensive performance. He recorded 10 defensive contributions and won seven aerial duels, giving his side valuable resistance against Brighton’s attacking threats.
3. Bobby Thomas (Coventry) – Centre-back
He made two decisive clearances. One came when he got ahead of Fernandez-Pardo to clear. The other was a goal-line clearance after Fernandez-Pardo had rounded the goalkeeper. Newcastle had two big chances, and Thomas denied both. That kept Coventry in front until their finishing took over
4. James Tarkowski (Everton) – Centre-back
Tarkowski stood out during Everton’s 2-2 draw against Hull City. His 17 defensive contributions included a crucial goal-line clearance, demonstrating his determination to protect Everton when their opponents threatened.
5. Ferdi Kadioglu (Brighton) – Left-back
Kadioglu impressed in Brighton’s victory over Sunderland, making 12 defensive contributions and winning all four of his duels. His work at left-back helped Brighton maintain control without sacrificing defensive discipline.
