Even as Manchester United supporters were left to rue their 1-1 Premier League draw at home against Chelsea, another team's Uefa Champions League hopes were put on hold as Arsenal were routed by Leicester City on Sunday.

The man responsible for the London side's crushing defeat was Jamie Vardy as a result of which the England striker makes it to Richard Jolly's team of the week this week. Also in the line-up is Youri Tielemans, Vardy's Belgian teammate, who Jolly called "the classiest player on the pitch".

Liverpool are adequately represented, with Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson being picked. So are West Ham United, with Ryan Fredericks and Issa Diop in the side for their match-winning effort against Tottenham Hotspur.
