Troy Deeney’s team of the week: Palmer, Gvardiol, Delap, Tonali, Semenyo

James Justin (Leicester City): I don’t remember him having much to do defensively, with all the problems on Arsenal’s right side. He then fired in a great header for his first goal in the second half, while the volley he struck to equalize was incredible. So much could have gone wrong, but the technology was excellent.

Micky van de Ven (Tottenham Hotspur): This is the second time he has been in my team of the week. Defensively he’s just a joke, I’m so impressed. His pace gets a lot of praise, but the way he defends, the way he sees situations and covers his full-backs is excellent. And of course an assist to keep a clean sheet in the win over Manchester United, so perfect for him.

Joachim Andersen (Fulham): They were the only team to get a clean sheet after playing 11 against 11 at Nottingham Forest. They were excellent, he was excellent. The Dane was a real strong signing for Fulham. He has a passing ability that is quite underrated. He hit some nice diagonal balls that pushed them forward.

Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City): He scored a wonderful goal and I thought the Croatian was really outstanding in Newcastle. I like the way he plays, he’s a big, strong boy who puts himself forward, but obviously he also has that nice footwork to get to the goal.
