Who has made Troy's Premier League team of the week?

WHAT HAPPENED
BBC pundit Troy Deeney has published his latest Premier League "team and manager of the week" after the most recent round of fixtures. He picked 11 players plus a manager, explaining his reasons for each selection and inviting readers to respond.

Deeney's XI features four Arsenal picks and three he lists as Liverpool players, along with representatives from Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Fulham and Brentford. Everton boss David Moyes was named his manager of the week.

KEY CONTEXT
This selection is part of a regular, season-long BBC feature in which Deeney names a team and manager of the week after every round of Premier League matches. Each choice is accompanied by Deeney’s interpretation of individual performances and their impact on games.

WHY IT MATTERS
Deeney’s choices underline the players he believes influenced results most during the round: he highlighted goalkeeping intervention, defensive solidity, goals and chance creation, and leadership on the pitch. The concentration of Arsenal names in his XI signals that, in his view, their recent performances produced several standout contributors. He also used the selections to argue for re-evaluations of certain players’ reputations—both positively (praising consistency and finishing) and in response to recent criticism.

WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
The next instalment of this weekly feature will follow the upcoming round of fixtures. Deeney’s comments raise a few continuing storylines to monitor: whether the players he described as under-appreciated will sustain form, how squad roles evolve at clubs he mentioned (for example his view on a particular Arsenal defensive spot), and whether managers can repeat results under similar constraints. Readers are invited to give their reactions via the BBC comments form linked to the feature.
