Premier League Team and Manager of the Week

After each round of Premier League matches this season, BBC football pundit Troy Deeney shares his selections for the Team and Manager of the Week.

Here are his choices for this week. Do you agree? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Gianluigi Donnarumma (Manchester City): While many may point to the 3-0 scoreline against West Ham, Donnarumma made several crucial saves in the early part of the second half, which kept Manchester City ahead and in contention for victory. Although the team has performed well, their defensive efforts have not been stellar, and Donnarumma must continue to deliver strong performances.

Reece James (Chelsea): Reece has been featured in the team multiple times, and ahead of the World Cup, he is proving to be an invaluable asset. His fitness has been a concern in the past, but he has remained injury-free for a year, which is promising. His stunning free-kick in the draw against Newcastle was a highlight.

Piero Hincapie (Arsenal): Hincapie has been somewhat under the radar since joining Arsenal late, but he has delivered excellent performances, including a solid display against Everton.

Joachim Andersen (Fulham): Andersen continues to showcase his class for Fulham. His ability to execute long diagonal passes and his leadership in organizing the defense were evident in the match against Nottingham Forest.

Antonee Robinson (Fulham): It's great to see Robinson back on the pitch. With the World Cup approaching, he is crucial for the United States. After facing injuries, he is now demonstrating that he is returning to his top form.

Keane Lewis-Potter (Brentford): Previously utilized as a full-back, Lewis-Potter is now flourishing in his preferred forward position. He scored two impressive goals in a significant match against Wolves, which has likely secured Brentford's survival in the league.

Ethan Ampadu (Leeds): Ampadu is a player I truly admire. He has matured not only as a footballer since leaving Chelsea but also as a leader. He consistently makes crucial tackles and contributed a goal in the victory over Crystal Palace.

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa): Rogers is currently the standout performer, scoring two remarkable goals against Manchester United. His impressive form raises questions about his potential role in the England squad. With seven goals for Villa this season, he is certainly one to watch.

Nick Woltemade (Newcastle): Woltemade netted two goals against Chelsea and could have scored a hat-trick. The return of Yoane Wissa seems to have revitalized his performance, and he is finding himself in the right positions to score.

Erling Haaland (Manchester City): The standout player, Haaland scored two goals but could have had more. His remarkable scoring record is impressive, with his next goal set to be his 150th for Manchester City in just five years—a truly astounding achievement.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds): Discussions are emerging about Calvert-Lewin potentially rejoining the England squad this summer. While it may be a stretch given his injury history, it's essential to appreciate his current fitness and goal-scoring ability.

Daniel Farke (Leeds United): Farke led his team to a fantastic victory against Crystal Palace. Just two weeks ago, there were doubts about both Palace's top-four prospects and Farke's future. Now, Leeds appears to be in a strong position to avoid relegation, marking this match as a key result of the weekend.
