Amad Diallo (Manchester United): It’s been really difficult to pick the forwards this week but Amad Diallo is the only one who is a no-brainer. He was excellent, flipped the Manchester derby on its head. As a young man he just seems to be growing better and better.
All that noise around Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, Diallo just seems to be going about his business and delivering on a regular basis, and that’s what it’s all about.
Ismaila Sarr (Crystal Palace): When I played with him at Watford he was a winger, but at Palace they’re playing him as a 10 and he’s going to show people just how good of a footballer he is.
He is also the quickest person I’ve ever played with and for his second goal he made up five yards on Lewis Dunk and then for his finish was about 15 yards ahead. Unbelievable finish and great to see him off the mark and flying at Palace.
Jacob Murphy (Newcastle): If I’m being totally honest, I never thought I’d do a Team of the Week where we’d be talking about Jacob Murphy. That’s probably the best compliment I can give him, he’s playing that well I have to put him in. Two goals at the weekend, excellent performance.
Alexander Isak (Newcastle): The best striker in the Premier League at this moment in time. Yes I’ve said it and yes I stand by it. He’s the complete striker. Unreal. Every time I watch him I keep thinking, how haven’t Arsenal signed him?
He’s a really good player and finisher. He’s a poacher but he’s also such a silky player. You don’t see many silky poachers.
