The latest Premier League action proved full of incident and once again we’ve delved through the weekend’s football to compile our divisional Team of the Week.

Manchester United’s marquee man came to the fore as the Red Devils won a thriller with Tottenham at Old Trafford, though its Arsenal who remain in pole position for the top four after a fifth consecutive league win.

Down at the bottom, Leeds left it late to secure a potentially crucial win over Norwich, whilst there were vital victories for both Brentford and Watford in their battles to remain in the Premier League this season.

Following the latest fixtures we’ve compiled a best XI from the stand-out performers, here is The Football Faithful’s Premier League Team of the Week.

West Ham kept alive their push for Champions League qualification with a win over in-form Aston Villa, weathering some early pressure from the visitors to secure a 2-1 win at the London Stadium.

Lukasz Fabianski made two vital interceptions with the game goalless for the Hammers, first saving Philippe Coutinho’s close-range effort before getting down well to turn Danny Ings’ shot onto the post.

The Pole’s performance provided the platform for the Hammers to earn all three points, as goals from Andriy Yarmolenko and Pablo Fornals kept West Ham within reach of the top four.

Arsenal have now won nine of their past 11 league fixtures to climb into the top four and the Gunners’ winning run continued with a 2-0 win over Leicester at the Emirates.

Ben White was a stand-out performer for the North London side, ending the game with a 90% pass accuracy, two tackles, three clearances and three interceptions.

White made a brilliant last-ditch intervention to deny James Maddison inside the penalty area and has grown in importance as part of Arsenal’s home-grown core. Left out of the England squad in November, he deserves to be included when Gareth Southgate names his Three Lions’ squad for the upcoming international break this week.

oel Matip continued his excellent form with another impressive performance in Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Brighton, with the centre-back providing the assist for Luis Diaz’s opener with a fine pass in behind.
