Following each round of Premier League fixtures this season, BBC football pundit Troy Deeney selects his standout players and manager of the week. Here are his latest choices. Do you agree with his picks? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
**David Raya (Arsenal):** His save against West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes was arguably the save of the season. That moment alone could be enough to secure the league title for Arsenal. Simple as that.
**Levi Colwill (Chelsea):** A remarkable return from injury, Colwill brings a sense of calm to a frequently chaotic Chelsea side. He’s a genuine presence and leader within the group, and it’s an excellent sign for England that he’s fit and available.
**James Tarkowski (Everton):** Notched a goal and an assist in a commanding centre-back display away at Crystal Palace. Everton have been quietly solid, and Tarkowski has been a major reason why their campaign has been so impressive.
**Gabriel (Arsenal):** Massive blocks in crucial moments. He simply gets the job done at the back.
**Maxim de Cuyper (Brighton):** Two assists from left-back against Wolves. A brilliant performance.
**Rayan (Bournemouth):** If not for Nico O’Reilly, Rayan would be a strong candidate for Young Player of the Season. He’s been outstanding. Another goal at Fulham, and he’s finished the season strongly, positioning himself for Brazil’s World Cup squad. Can Bournemouth keep hold of him?
**Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal):** Started in midfield, switched to left-back mid-game without a single misstep. He was fantastic—one of the players who has really stepped up over the past three to four weeks.
**Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool):** Excellent for Liverpool against Chelsea, with a wonderful goal.
**Jeremy Doku (Man City):** What a month he’s had. After not scoring since November, he’s netted four times in the last month. He’s flying, and while Manchester City are applying pressure, it feels like they might not have enough left in the tank.
**Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa):** A bruising performance at Burnley. He’s one of those players who simply gets the job done, and he’s been fantastic.
**Erling Haaland (Man City):** A goal and an assist—that’s why he’s the man up front.
**Mikel Arteta (Arsenal):** He got the job done and won the league. Simple as that.
