Each week we delve through the Premier League’s weekend action and compile our divisional Team of the Week from the fixtures’ finest performances.

Manchester City moved top of the Premier League table after a hard-fought win at Fulham, while Manchester United ended Aston Villa’s unbeaten run at Old Trafford to strengthen their position in the top four.

Elsewhere, Liverpool climbed above Spurs after beating the north Londoners in an enthralling encounter at Anfield, Brighton kept alive their European ambitions with a record-breaking win over Wolves, and there were important wins for Bournemouth, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.

Here is The Football Faithful’s Premier League Team of the Week.

Goalkeeper: Bernd Leno – Fulham

Bernd Leno was unable to do his old side a favour in the Premier League title race, but kept his current club in the contest for large periods during Fulham’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.

The German goalkeeper made a string of saves to frustrate the visitors, including seven saves from inside the box, with Pep Guardiola calling Leno ‘the best player of the game’ at Craven Cottage.

He has been an astute addition for Marco Silva following Fulham’s return to the Premier League.

Right-back: Trent Alexander-Arnold – Liverpool

Continued his reinvention in a hybrid role with another performance of creative class and elite distribution when stepping into central areas. It’s now six assists in five games for Alexander-Arnold since Klopp’s tactical tweak, after a superb cross picked out Curtis Jones for the opening goal in Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Tottenham.

Alexander-Arnold’s positional change remains a work in progress for the balance of the team, with Ibrahima Konate having struggled on occasion to cover the area vacated at right-back. For the former, however, it has been a welcome switch and one which has allowed him to find his form.
