Premier League Team of the Week for Matchweek 7

Goalkeeper: Senne Lammens (Manchester United)

Made three saves to preserve the clean sheet against Sunderland — Manchester United's first clean sheet of the season.

Defender: Jurrien Timber (Arsenal) 

Timber was solid on both sides of the ball as Arsenal took over first place, with four tackles and two interceptions on the defensive end and a drawn penalty with one of his many marauding runs on attack.

Defender: Malick Thiaw (Newcastle)

The 24-year-old was solid in Newcastle's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, with three interceptions and four aerial duels won.

Defender: Jan Paul van Hecke (Brighton)

The defender rescued a draw for Brighton with his powerful header late, and he also won four of his five ground duels.

Defender: Marc Cucurella (Chelsea)

Another fantastic outing by one of Chelsea's most dependable players, Cucurella won all five of his ground duels and provided the assist on Estevao's stoppage-time winner against Liverpool.

Midfielder: Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth) 

The Cherries star is nearly a weekly entry in this TOTW, and with two goals and an assist against Fulham, he wasn't going to be denied a spot this week.

Midfielder: Declan Rice (Arsenal)

The man of a million talents for Arsenal, Rice was a force all over the pitch and scored the match-winner against his former side, West Ham.

Midfielder: Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle)

If winning 10(!) duels wasn't enough, Newcastle's midfield maestro also scored the game-winning goal against Forest in spectacular fashion.

Forward: Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

Consistently Arsenal's most dangerous player, against West Ham, he tormented his opposing defenders and took his penalty well. The successful spot-kick was his 100th goal contribution on his 200th Premier League appearance.

Forward: Erling Haaland (Manchester City)  

The goal-scoring Thanos for Man City, he is inevitable. His match-winning strike against Brentford was his league-leading ninth of the campaign so far. 

Forward: Estevao (Chelsea)

The young Brazilian looks like he's on track to live up to his enormous hype, and on the weekend, he came off the bench to deliver the winning blow against Liverpool.
