Premier League team of the week: Arsenal duo join Chelsea & Liverpool stars in BBC XI

Garth Crooks is back with his latest Premier League team of the week, and it’s a star-studded side containing big names from the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs.

Declan Rice and Ben White were the stand-out performers for Arsenal as they beat Brentford 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium to go top of the Premier League table, while Liverpool and Manchester City played out a 1-1 draw at Anfield.

Virgil van Dijk and John Stones were among the most impressive performers in their top of the table six pointer, while it was also a very good weekend for Tottenham as they thrashed Aston Villa 4-0 away from home, with as many as four of their players making Crooks’ line up on BBC Sport, as shown in full below…

Elsewhere, Chelsea also got a much-needed win at home to Newcastle United, and once again it was Cole Palmer who stood out for Mauricio Pochettino’s side, scoring in the 3-2 victory.

Other names to complete the XI include Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho and Danny Ings of West Ham.
