Right-Midfield – Riyad Mahrez – Leicester City
What an unreal talent this guy is.
Everyone assumed his start wouldn’t be able to continue throughout the campaign, but he’s now on seven goals and four assists in 11 games and has been vital for Leicester City.
Another match-winning brace on Saturday as the Foxes beat West Brom 3-2 and Mahrez is already being scouted by bigger clubs.
Reports today have suggested Manchester United and Arsenal are keen on signing the Algerian.
Claudio Ranieri will want to keep this guy for the season though.
Centre-Midfield – Philippe Coutinho – Liverpool
A match-winning display at Stamford Bridge from Philippe Coutinho.
The Brazilian has been first to admit he’s been poor so far this season, but boy did he turn up against Chelsea.
A lovely finessed finish to make it 1-1 on the stroke of half-time and then a slightly fortuitous second to give the Reds the lead.
Coutinho was back to his very best on Saturday and Jurgen Klopp will hope it continues.
Centre-Midfield – Mesut Ozil – Arsenal
The invisible man strikes again.
What form this guy is in! He’s breaking all records, topping all the stats list and is thoroughly enjoying his football at Arsenal.
Two more assists on Saturday, setting up Olivier Giroud and Joel Campbell, makes it nine assists and one goal for the campaign so far for Ozil.
He’s finally showing his best form at the Emirates Stadium and Arsenal fans are loving it.
Slightly attacking-midfield we know, but it’s the Team of the Week.
Left-Midfield – Gerard Deulofeu – Everton
 
Sunderland just couldn’t deal with the Spaniard at Goodison Park.
His pace was absolutely lethal down the flanks and with Romelu Lukaku and Arouna Kone ahead of him in fine-form, it was a destructive display from Deulofeu.
Despite his needless dive during the game, it was a performance that deserved a spot in the Team of the Week.
Two assists and a goal during the 6-2 romp of Sam Allardyce‘s men.
