Premier League Team of the Week for Matchweek 18
Goalkeeper: Martin Dubravka (Burnley)
Burnley have not found points easy to come by this season, which makes their 0-0 draw with Everton hugely important. Dubravka was a massive part of that, making six saves and preserving the clean sheet.
Right back: Declan Rice (Arsenal)
Yes, you read that right. The Gunners' midfield metronome started their 2-1 victory over Brighton at right back and — to no one's surprise — excelled in the role.
Centre-back: Michael Keane (Everton)
A top-class performance from Keane earned him a nod in this week's selection, with 11 duels won, 13 clearances, three tackles and three interceptions for the Toffees.
Centre-back: Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City)
The Man Ciy stalwart was crucial in their 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest, providing the assist on Rayan Cherki's late winner. Gvardiol also made eight clearances in the victory.
Left back: Antonee Robinson (Fulham)
The Cottagers have missed the marauding runs of "Jedi" as he displayed against West Ham, with 19 accurate final-third passes and four accurate crosses to go with three interceptions and two aerial wins.
Midfielder: Rayan Cherki (Manchester City)
As mentioned, Cherki struck for the winner against Forest, but he also assisted City's other goal and made three key passes in an attacking masterclass.
Midfielder: Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool)
Gravenberch is unafraid to do the dirty work for the Reds, with three tackles and four interceptions against Wolves. Oh, and he scored the opening goal of the 2-1 victory as well.
Midfielder: Florian Wirtz (Liverpool)
Finally scored his first goal in a Liverpool shirt, but the beleaguered star was heavily involved in the team's overall attack with seven successful dribbles and three key passes.
Forward: Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Saka provided attacking thrust on the right side of the pitch in Arsenal's victory against Brighton with an assist on Martin Odegaard's goal, plus seven shots of his own and four chances created.
Forward: Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
Kept Villa's historic winning streak alive with a second-half brace to power the team's 2-1 comeback victory at Chelsea.
Forward: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds)
This man cannot stop scoring as he notched his seventh goal in his last six league matches during Leeds' 1-1 draw at Sunderland.
