The penultimate weekend of action in the Premier League has now been and gone with plenty of entertainment accompanying it.

With the latest round of fixtures producing a total of 37 goals, here is Flashscore's Premier League Team of the Week. 

GK - Alisson (30, Liverpool)

Liverpool managed to grind out a 2-1 win at Tottenham and Alisson's work in goal became key in the Reds escaping with all three points.

The Brazilian stopper kept made four good saves in north London to keep hosts Spurs at arm's length as they threatened a comeback.

DEF - Kieran Trippier (32, Newcastle)

Continuing their remarkable run of form, Newcastle breezed past a sorry-looking Southampton 4-1 with Trippier shining one again for the Magpies.

He notched his third assist of the campaign with his pass finding Joe Willock after he intercepted a Saints attack.

DEF - William Saliba (21, Arsenal)

Arsenal's 1-0 win over Chelsea sent them back to the top of the Premier League table and Saliba was key in what was another statement display.

Saliba was a rock alongside lone goalscorer Gabriel in central defence, stifling Chelsea's attack and restricting the Blues to little in front of goal.

DEF - Lucas Digne (29, Aston Villa)

The was no shortage of quality for Aston Villa as they dismantled Manchester United 3-1 in Unai Emery's first match in charge and Digne shone from left-back.

The French continued Villa's blistering start against United with a superb free-kick, which dipped up and over the wall beyond David de Gea.

MID - James Maddison (25, Leicester)

There were a number of good performances from Leicester as they nudged Everton aside 2-0, but Maddison was the pick of the bunch at Goodison Park.

Although he was not able to score from his eight shots, Maddison set both goals up and created four chances as the Foxes moved away from the relegation zone.

MID - Jacob Ramsey (21, Aston Villa) 

The second Villa player to make the list, Ramsey was superb against United and is worthy of his place in the side.

The England U21 international slotted in Leon Bailey to get the scoring underway and got on the scoresheet himself with a beautiful effort into the top corner.

MID - Kevin De Bruyne (31, Manchester City)

The 10 men of Manchester City overcame a wobble against Fulham and De Bruyne's play ensured they kept pace with Arsenal towards the top of the table.

The Belgian star was excellent despite his side being a man down and earned the crucial game-winning penalty in second-half injury time, which was dispatched by substitute Erling Haaland.

MID - Adam Lallana (34, Brighton)

Brighton were made to wait to claim a 3-2 victory against 10-man Wolves and Lallana was one of the stars of the show for the Seagulls. 

Lallana scored with an excellent curling effort and set up another as Brighton sealed a second win in a row.

FWD - Mohamed Salah (30, Liverpool)

It hasn't been the smoothest of campaigns for either Liverpool or Salah, but his two-goal performance against Spurs was more like his usual, prolific self. 

After finishing expertly to open the scoring, the Egyptian then capitalised on Eric Dier's poor attempt at heading back to Hugo Lloris before lifting an effort passed the onrushing goalkeeper.

FWD - Wilfried Zaha (29, Crystal Palace)

Zaha was instrumental for Crystal Palace in a more central role as they stole three points in the final stages of their match against West Ham.

The Ivory Coast international started the Eagles' fightback with a clinical finish before setting up Michael Olise's deflected injury-time winner.

FWD - Kaoru Mitoma (25, Brighton)

Mitoma followed up his strong display in the demolition against Chelsea with another promising performance in Brighton's win over Wolves.

The Japanese caused Wolves all sorts of problems down the left-hand side and played a role in all three of the visitors' goals, adding his name to the scoresheet himself.
