Premier League Team of the Week: Liverpool Completely Dominate BBC XI After Crushing Win Over Man United

Five Liverpool players have been selected for the Premier League team of the week by expert Troy Deeney.

The Reds were in fine form yesterday, beating Manchester United 3-0, with goals scored by Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah, both of whom were in Deeney’s starting line-up for his column for BBC Sport.

In addition to Diaz and Salah, there were also places for goalkeeper Alisson, central defender Virgil van Dijk and left back Andrew Robertson. It was a memorable result and a fully deserved one-sided victory for Arne Slot’s team.

Check out the full line-up below, as almost half of Deeney’s team is made up of Liverpool players, while other big names such as Erling Haaland and Eberechi Eze also made the cut in…

Haaland scored a hat-trick for Manchester City against West Ham, so few would disagree with his selection. Eze was also at his best when he scored a brilliant goal to earn Crystal Palace a 1-1 draw at Chelsea.

Overall, there’s no doubt that LFC stole the show this weekend with their convincing win at Old Trafford, with Slot having done an impressive job replacing Jurgen Klopp so far.

While Klopp will undoubtedly always remain a legendary figure at Anfield, this may have been the right time for him to leave as Slot appears to have taken many of the same players to a higher level since a rather flat end to last season.

If Liverpool continue to play like this, they will undoubtedly be one of the main title contenders again, even though the pre-season was mainly about Manchester City and Arsenal.

The Gunners dropped their first points of the season at home to Brighton, but City and Liverpool have both had perfect results so far.
