Join Sports News Blitz writer Noah Ngcobo as he breaks down the top performers in this week’s Premier League Team of the Week.

Robert Sanchez (Chelsea) – Goalkeeper

Back-to-back clean sheets for Chelsea's shot-stopper Sanchez, who once again shines in goal.

Fresh off last week’s standout display, Sanchez racked up seven crucial saves at the London Stadium, the third-most across the league this weekend.

He was one of only four keepers to keep a clean sheet, helping Chelsea cruise to a 3-0 win over West Ham in style.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) – Right-back

Trent is back in business. The Liverpool right-back delivered a commanding all-round performance in their victory over Bournemouth.

He was a defensive wall with four tackles and three possession recoveries in the defensive third and capped off his day with a blistering assist for Diaz after a trademark lung-busting run.

Gabriel Magalhães (Arsenal) – Centre-back

Gabriel is earning his stripes and then some. Making his second appearance in our Team of the Week, the Brazilian was a defensive colossus against Manchester City.

The Brazilian was a rock at the back against Manchester City, putting in a commanding shift even after Arsenal went down to 10 men.

He tallied five clearances, three blocks, and won four duels, while also scoring a crucial goal - his second in as many weeks - powering through Kyle Walker to head in from a corner.

His efforts helped Arsenal secure a hard-fought 2-2 draw, capping off another standout performance.

Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa) – Centre-back

Starting at right-back but shifting to his natural centre-back role, Konsa was immense for Aston Villa.

He completed an impressive 97% of his passes (56 of 58) and delivered the crucial goal that put Villa ahead, helping them overturn a deficit to secure a 3-1 comeback win over Wolves at Villa Park.

Konsa’s versatility and impact continue to shine.

Diogo Dalot (Manchester United) – Left-back

Dalot is thriving in an unfamiliar role at left-back, proving his versatility week after week.

Against Crystal Palace, the Portuguese star was key to Manchester United’s defensive revival, which now boasts four clean sheets in six matches.

Dalot created three chances (a game-high), had a 92% pass accuracy, eight ball recoveries, won four of five duels, and completed 100% of his take-ons, helping United to another shutout.

Moises Caicedo (Chelsea) – Midfielder

Moises Caicedo is finally hitting his stride in a Chelsea shirt.

Many are calling it his best performance yet, as the Ecuadorian bossed the midfield with eight tackles and a standout assist that sliced through West Ham’s defence, setting up Jackson.

Caicedo’s complete performance shows he’s not just a destroyer - he has got playmaking flair as well.

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa) – Midfielder

Rogers continues to emerge as a breakout star for Villa, putting in another standout display against Wolves.

Completing 27 of 33 passes and delivering two key assists, the young Englishman was pivotal in Villa’s late comeback, helping them seal a 3-1 victory.

Rogers is becoming a name to watch.

James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur) – Midfielder

Maddison delivered another masterclass for Spurs, capping off a dominant midfield performance with a goal and an assist.

He created three big chances, fired two shots on target, and helped inspire a 3-1 comeback win over Brentford.

Despite Spurs conceding in the first minute, Maddison’s Man of the Match display was the driving force behind their turnaround.

Tyler Dibling (Southampton) – Forward

Eighteen-year-old Dibling is having a dream breakthrough season, and this week he makes the Team of the Week as a forward after playing in a more advanced role on the right.

The teenager, who can operate across various midfield positions, was outstanding on Saturday.

He won eight duels, completed three of four dribbles, made two tackles, created one big chance, and capped it all off by scoring his first Premier League goal.

Playing with immense confidence, Dibling is a breath of fresh air - Southampton have a real talent on their hands.

Luis Diaz (Liverpool) – Forward

Diaz was electric in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth, bagging a brace and asserting his dominance on the left wing.

The Colombian hit the target with all four of his shots, completed three take-ons, and won possession twice in both the attacking and defensive thirds.

Diaz is making that left-wing spot his own this season.

Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) – Forward

Jackson was unstoppable in Chelsea’s 3-0 victory over West Ham.

The Senegalese striker netted two goals, provided an assist, and was subbed off after just 60 minutes, having done all the damage.

Jackson created two big chances, had four shots in total, and scored both of his key opportunities.

After facing criticism last season, he’s proving to be lethal in front of goal this time around.
