Spurs and Chelsea welcomed Fulham and Arsenal in the Premier League\u2019s first London derbies this season while Liverpool and Manchester City tried to live up to their billing as the pre-season favourites. Neil Etheridge played a big part against Newcastle and others had similar contributions against their respective sides.<\/p>\n
Cardiff’s Neil Etheridge missed out on this spot last week because his penalty-save was ultimately in vain. However, his persistence sees him enter the team of the week for the first time this season after a penalty save for a second game running.<\/p>\n
Etheridge\u2019s 96th<\/sup> minute save won his side a crucial point against 10-man Newcastle as both sides look to reject tags of being relegation-contenders this season.<\/p>\n Although now being employed further up the field, England\u2019s World Cup hero finds place at the right-back spot this week. Trippier was spectacular against London-rivals Fulham, continuing where he left off in Russia, scoring another brilliant free-kick.<\/p>\n Bournemouth stalwart Steve Cook was impressive at both ends, completing the Cherries\u2019 comeback at West Ham with the winning goal.<\/p>\n Cook helped restrict the Hammers to just one goal via the penalty spot despite the hosts enjoying the majority of possession.<\/p>\n England international John Stones was calmness personified for the second week running as he enjoyed a comfortable afternoon against a rather toothless Huddersfield.<\/p>\n Stones looks to have finally won over critics after impressive showings for both England and Manchester City.<\/p>\n After missing out on Spain\u2019s World Cup squad to Saturday\u2019s opponent at left-back, Nacho Monreal, Alonso showed what his country missed in Russia.<\/p>\n An inspired attacking performance, getting an assist before scoring the decisive third goal, he pips City\u2019s Benjamin Mendy to the left-back spot this week.<\/p>\n The unsung hero of Pep Guardiola\u2019s City side, the quiet Brazilian was at it again as he imposed his will in midfield against Huddersfield. He may not get the headlines, but certainly gets in on our Premier League Team of the Week.<\/p>\n The Brazilian made sure Huddersfield never got into the game, winning important duels and sweeping up play well along with supporting in attack confidently.<\/p>\n Arsenal\u2019s fightback to bring the game from 2-0 to 2-2 showed a lot of character. One person who personified that spirit was the only teenager to feature in the game, Matteo Guendouzi.<\/p>\n The young Frenchman was excellent in midfield, spraying accurate passes in every direction and splitting Chelsea open at will. His gorgeous through ball for Mkhitaryan led to Arsenal\u2019s equaliser.<\/p>\n Initially brought in as N\u2019Golo Kante\u2019s replacement, Mendy\u2019s never quite set the Premier League on fire. But he showed against Wolves why Leicester paid \u00a314m for his services.<\/p>\n Tireless, high-octane, high-energy and his impressive ball retention skills were key to Leicester maintaining their two-goal lead despite Jamie Vardy\u2019s sending off. A performance Kante himself would\u2019ve been proud of.<\/p>\n David Silva marked his 250th<\/sup> Premier League appearance with a sumptuous free-kick for City\u2019s fourth goal on Sunday. He may be on the wrong side of 30 now but seems to be only getting better with age.<\/p>\n The diminutive Spaniard pulled the strings magnificently throughout the game.<\/p>\n Watford\u2019s inspirational skipper, Troy Deeney, was everywhere at Turf Moor, assisting and scoring in the visitors\u2019 3-1 win over Burnley.<\/p>\n The Hornets hadn\u2019t scored an away goal in the Premier League since January but scored three at the home of one of the league\u2019s top-seven last season.<\/p>\n He was in our Premier League Team of the Week last week too, despite not getting on the score sheet. This time, however, Sergio Aguero blew away all other contenders, grabbing a hat-trick in City\u2019s rout of Huddersfield.<\/p>\n At this rate, a second Golden Boot of his career may be in the near future for City\u2019s golden boy.<\/p>\n Main image:<\/p>\nRight-back \u2013 Kieran Trippier \u2013 Tottenham Hotspur<\/h2>\n
