Odegaard, Ramsdale, Rashford, others make PL Team of the Week after derby wins

Checkout Sporting Tribune’s Premier League team of the week for Matchday 20

GK: Aaron Ramsdale – The Arsenal number one has been fairly great all season, but on Sunday in the north London derby he took his game to a whole other level. Ramsdale was exceptional (as were the rest of his teammates).

CB: Thiago Silva – 38 years old and still in the conversation for ‘best centre-back in the world’ putting in a marshalling performance in defence.

CB: Gabriel – William Saliba has rightly earned plaudits for his performances this season, but it’s time for everyone to show some love to his centre-back partner too. The defender kept Harry Kane pretty quiet on Sunday – which is no mean feat.

CB: Luke Shaw – He was once one of the most derided players in the Premier League, now he’s one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League. Shaw was in top form as his side came out on top of the Manchester Derby.

RM: Solly March – Tormented Liverpool with two goals and an assist in a 3-0 win over Liverpool?

CM: Casemiro – The Brazilian is probably the best midfielder in the league right now, and he proved that once again with an all-action performance against Manchester City on Saturday.

CM: James Ward-Prowse – JWP has had a below-par season by his standards, but he showed up at the weekend when Southampton needed him the most, bagging two goals in a crucial win including another trademark free-kick.

LM: Alex Moreno – Subbed on after 10 minutes for his Aston Villa debut, Moreno didn’t disappoint the Villa Park faithful and proved instrumental in the 2-1 win over Leeds United.

AM : Martin Odegaard – Arsenal’s captain was once again in fine form for his club on Sunday, scoring a wonderful goal in the north London derby.

ST – Brennan Johnson – The 21-year-old drove his team to a 2-0 win over Leicester City by scoring a brace. Forest may sink and swim by Johnson’s form for the rest of the season.

ST – Marcus Rashford – Rashford has scored in every single game since the World Cup. He continued his goalscoring streak when he put Man United ahead with a controversial goal.
