Troy Deeney names his Premier League team of the week

Troy Deeney's team of the week leans heavily on players who made decisive contributions after the latest round of Premier League matches. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya earns his place for producing what Deeney called “Huge saves, again,” while Ezri Konsa receives recognition for a major tackle on Morgan Rogers.

Deeney also selected Liverpool's Ronald Araujo, who played at right-back, and Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell, whose two goals from left-back made him an obvious choice. Newcastle's Harvey Barnes made the team after scoring with a finish into the far corner, despite receiving less attention than some of his teammates.

“

Huge saves, again. It's why he's the best goalkeeper in the league. He keeps just coming up with big moments.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is described as a leader and winner, while Liverpool's Cody Gakpo is included after creating two goals from midfield. Fulham's Cesar Palacios and Brentford's Vitaly Janelt complete the midfield selections, with Deeney praising them as solid players who get their jobs done even when they do not attract attention.

Captain, leader and a massive winner.

Liverpool forward Alexander Isak also features. Deeney defended him against criticism after injuries and a scoreless game against Newcastle. Arsenal's Kai Havertz was named the best striker in the team, with Deeney saying he proves his finishing ability week after week.

David Moyes is Deeney's manager of the week. Despite what Deeney called a bad transfer window and the loss of attacking options, Moyes still delivered a result for Everton. BBC asks readers whether they agree with the selections and who would make their own team of the week.

The best striker for Arsenal, hands down.
