Alexandre Lacazette and Sergio Aguero combine up front: Premier League team of the week

Manchester United's match-saving goalkeeper is also included, as are two Liverpool players for their part in the win over Southampton

Goalkeeper: David de Gea (Manchester United) – Wolves’ Rui Patricio also impressed in the draw at Old Trafford, but De Gea earned United a point with a late stop from Adama Traore. Reuters

Right-back: Pablo Zabaleta (West Ham United) – Acquitted himself superbly to keep Eden Hazard much quieter than usual as West Ham got their first clean sheet of the season. Reuters

Centre-back: James Tarkowski (Burnley) – Burnley’s win over Bournemouth was less comprehensive than the 4-0 scoreline suggested and Tarkowski was required to excel. Getty Images

Centre-back: Joel Matip (Liverpool) – Marked his first start of the season with a goal. The Cameroonian also helped prevent a toothless Southampton side from scoring. Getty Images

Left-back: Danny Rose (Tottenham) – Admitted he was partly to blame for Brighton’s late consolation, but he was a major reason why Tottenham took a 2-0 lead before then. Getty Images

Right midfield: Johann Berg Gudmundsson (Burnley) – Others got the goals, but the Icelander helped set two of them up in a demonstration of fine crossing at Turf Moor. Reuters

Centre midfield: Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City) – A lovely finish for his goal, a cross for Riyad Mahrez’s first and an exhibition of fine passing in the 5-0 rout of Cardiff. Getty Images

Centre midfield: James Maddison (Leicester City) – The set-piece specialist scored a fine free kick and helped unlock Huddersfield after the visitors took a surprise lead. Reuters

Left midfield: Xherdan Shaqiri (Liverpool) – His first start only lasted 45 minutes but the Swiss still starred and his shot led to Liverpool’s first goal against Southampton. Getty Images

Striker: Alexandre Lacazette (Arsenal) – Scored the opening goal and played a part in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s second as Arsenal saw off Everton. Reuters

Striker: Sergio Aguero (Manchester City) – Marked his new contract and his 300th Manchester City start in fine style with a well-taken goal in the thrashing of Cardiff. Getty Images
