Mohamed Salah's sensational debut season in England continues to gather pace after the Egyptian notched up his 32nd strike of the campaign in Liverpool's 2-0 Premier League win over Newcastle United on Saturday.
The winger superbly controlled Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's pass before firing through the legs of Martin Dubravka to open the scoring for Jurgen Klopp's side at Anfield.
Two Swansea City players make the best XI as the South Wales club's revival under Carlos Carvalhal saw them move out of the relegation zone courtesy of a rout of West Ham United.
Jordan Ayew converted the penalty that his brother, Andre, had won to seal the 4-1 win, after midfielder Ki Sung-yeung had opened the scoring.
Ki isn't the only South Korean in the team this week, with Tottenham's Son Heung-min taking the wide left berth after a two-goal salvo against Huddersfield Town.
An unfamiliar backline sees Jack Butland of Stoke City in goal following a string of fine saves to deny Southampton, while Matthew Lowton (Burnley), Shane Duffy (Brighton), Adrian Mariappa (Watford) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (Manchester City) form the rearguard.
Ilkay Gundogan cements his place after setting a new Premier League record of number of passes in Manchester City's win against Chelsea while Brighton's in-form Glenn Murray completes the front two following his goal in the win over Arsenal, the south coast club's first over a top-six side.

Conflict, drought, famine
Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.
Band Aid
Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
