Who has made Troy’s Premier League team of the week?

- 64 Comments
After every round of Premier League matches this season, BBC football pundit Troy Deeney will give you his team and manager of the week.



Ola Aina (Nottingham Forest): Nottingham Forest were superb in their 1-0 victory against Manchester City – and both Aina and Murillo have been great all season. They shut down a City team that really needed to win.
Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa): It was just great to see him back playing against Brentford and enjoying his football. He has had a lot of injury mishaps but has never quit and never shirked a challenge. He did well as Villa won 1-0 to stay in the hunt for top four.
Murillo (Nottingham Forest): He has been really good all year. You can see why they put so much emphasis on tying him down to a long-term contract.

Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle): Scored the only goal against West Ham in a must-win match for his team in the Champions League race. It can be hard for players with a massive game like the Carabao Cup final coming up on Sunday – no player wants to get injured before that. But he was one of the few that didn’t shirk a tackle, and still played this game at full intensity.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): Again, he wasn’t great on the day against Southampton, but despite not being great, he scored two goals to help extend Liverpool’s lead at the top of the league.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa): Scored a good goal in Villa’s win over Brentford. He celebrated against his old team, which he should do – a good weekend for him!

Eddie Howe (Newcastle): It is another massive week for Newcastle – Howe could have easily chosen a different team against West Ham and rested everybody so they were ready for the cup final.
Instead he went for it and made sure he got the job done – despite having lost Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall to injury – and they are now level on points with fifth-placed Man City.
