Premier League Team of the Week: Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs players impress in Matchweek 8

DF: Kyle Walker-Peters (Southampton)

Is really shining in the right-back position under Ralph Hasenhuttl. Shut down Miguel Almiron to win possession for his side in the lead up to the opening goal and dealt with the threat of Allan Saint-Maximin all evening.

DF: Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur)

A real commanding performance from the England international. Was Spurs’ best player in a poor first half as he made two big interceptions. Those moments proved decisive as Tottenham snatched a late win thanks to Harry Kane’s header.

DF: Wesley Fofana (Leicester City)

Once again showed what a good young player the Foxes have on their hands. Made two fantastic interventions to deny Wolves in his side’s 1-0 win which took them to the top of the table. Was also comfortable on the ball and always tried to move the ball forward if possible.

DF: Aaron Cresswell (West Ham)

Playing as a left-sided centre-back for the Hammers rather than his more natural left-back position but it seems to be suiting Aaron Cresswell. Helped his side register a clean sheet in the 1-0 win over Fulham while, going forward, he hit the crossbar with a free-kick and caused problems with his set pieces.
