CF: Ivan Toney (Brentford). Continued his excellent season by scoring the first and assisting the second in Brentford’s 2-0 win at West Ham. Stretchered off with a knee injury, which manager Thomas Franck insisted is "not significant". Only Erling Haaland (21) and Harry Kane (13) have scored more than Toney’s 12 Premier League goals this season. Reuters
PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM OF THE WEEK (4-3-3): GK: David de Gea (Manchester United). Two important saves against Wolves – the first an acrobatic stop from Ruben Neves’ free kick, the second from close range in the dying stages – were vital to ensure United left Molineux with all three points. AP
RB: Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United). Newcastle’s run of six straight wins may have come to an end with a goalless draw against Leeds, but their England full-back was once again excellent at St James’ Park. Should be in player-of-the-season contention if he maintains this form for the rest of the campaign. Getty
CB: Willy Boly (Nottingham Forest). Led the Forest backline as Chelsea dominated possession but failed to create many chances, particularly in the second half. Provided the knock on for Serge Aurier’s goal to ensure Forest claimed a deserved, and valuable, point. PA
CB: Liam Cooper (Leeds United). It’s proving a mighty challenge to prevent Newcastle from scoring this season, but Leeds managed just that with a clean sheet at St James’ Park. Captain Cooper in central defence was a key reason behind an impressive away point for Leeds. AFP
LB: Luke Shaw (Manchester United). Deployed again at centre-back and continues to impress in his newfound role as United claimed a victory and a clean sheet at Wolves to move into the top four. Getty
CM: Michael Olise (Crystal Palace). The French midfielder provided both assists in Crystal Palace’s 2-0 win at Bournemouth as Patrick Vieira’s side returned to winning ways following back-to-back defeats. Reuters
CM: Martin Odegaard (Arsenal). The Arsenal captain is becoming a regular in this team and he was again superb in the 4-2 win at Brighton. Scored the second, set up the fourth and was the beating heart of Arsenal’s midfield. AP
CM: Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa). Played a part in Aston Villa’s first goal at Tottenham as it was his long-range effort that Hugo Lloris spilled, before doubling his team’s lead with a cool finish. Villa are looking an entirely different team under Unai Emery. AP
RW: Bukayo Saka (Arsenal). Sent Arsenal on their way with the opener inside the first two minutes at Brighton and continued to pull the opposition defence to pieces as the Gunners extended their lead at the top to seven points. Will Arsenal go all the way? With Saka in this sort of form, it’s more than possible. AFP
LW: Demarai Gray (Everton). When Everton went behind at Manchester City, it looked like a fourth straight defeat was on the cards. Then Gray popped up with the goal of the weekend to earn the Toffees a massive point. AFP
