Premier League Team of the WeekMarek Kratochvil

GK: Andre Onana, 8.4 (Manchester United)

Manchester United have started to hit some form with three wins in succession and with goalkeeper Andre Onana recording a third clean sheet in a row.

The Cameroon international was superb in the Red Devils' 3-0 win at Everton, shutting the hosts out with six saves.

DEF: Trent Alexander-Arnold, 8.2 (Liverpool)

It was a tough afternoon for Trent Alexander-Arnold as he had to contend with Jeremy Doku as Liverpool escaped with a 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

It would be a difficult task for any right-back, yet he still emerged as a net positive as he struck a fine effort to drag his team level after Erling Haaland's opener.

Alexander-Arnold picked up a pass near the edge of the area and arrowed a low effort into the far corner, which made sure the spoils were shared.

DEF: Pau Torres, 8.2 (Aston Villa)

Pau Torres had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon as Aston Villa came back to beat injury-hit Tottenham 2-1.

The Spaniard won seven duels and made one goal-line clearance, but his biggest contribution came as a thumping header to bring Villa level before half-time.

DEF: Oleksandr Zinchenko, 8.3 (Arsenal)

Oleksandr Zinchenko was Arsenal's top player in their win against Burnley and the Ukrainian has done it once again as the Gunners edged Brentford 1-0.

Zinchenko completed a match-high 70 passes, created two chances and made a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Neal Maupay.

MID: Anthony Gordon, 8.3 (Newcastle)

A tireless performance from Anthony Gordon helped injury-hit Newcastle to a romping 4-1 win over Chelsea.

Gordon grew into proceedings in the second half, first setting up Jamaal Lascelles' goal before finding the net himself with a low finish into the far corner.

He also earned Reece James a sending-off in between with the Chelsea right-back getting caught out by the winger's pace.

MID: Marcus Tavernier, 9.2 (Bournemouth)

Bournemouth's campaign seems to have kicked into life of late and the performances of Marcus Tavernier have been a pivotal part of that.

The 24-year-old scored twice in the Cherries' 3-1 win away at Sheffield United, finishing clinically for the game's opener before converting an effort at the back post.

MID: Pascal Gross, 8.6 (Brighton)

Brighton's 3-2 victory at Nottingham Forest was their first in the Premier League since September and Pascal Gross had a useful influence on proceedings.

The German midfielder created a match-high six chances for his teammates and came away with two assists, providing for both Evan Ferguson and Joao Pedro in the first half.

MID: Willian, 8.5 (Fulham)

Willian was on hand to ensure Fulham emerged with three points as they downed Wolves 3-2 on Monday night.

The 35-year-old winger was tidy in possession throughout but was decisive when called upon to convert both of two penalties awarded to the Cottagers, including one deep into second-half stoppage time.

MID: Morgan Gibbs-White, 9.0 (Nott'm Forest)

He may have ended up on the losing side, but Morgan Gibbs-White was a huge threat for Forest against Brighton.

Offensively, the 23-year-old proved menacing with four chances created and 13 touches in the opposition box, while he also dispatched his penalty calmly to reduce his team's arrears.

MID: Jeremy Doku, 8.7 (Manchester City)

Jeremy Doku was electric in City's draw with Liverpool and gave Alexander-Arnold a real headache defensively.

The nippy 21-year-old winger seemed to be everywhere down the left flank, completing a whopping 12 dribbles and creating four chances - both match-highs.

Defensively, he won 18 ground duels and made three tackles.
