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

Reece James (Chelsea): I was critical of him to take time out from England, but when you do that you have to put a performance on and he did. He was fantastic at right-back in the 3-0 win at Forest, a real captain's performance and capped with a goal. He kept Chelsea solid, especially after a really poor first half, and in the second half his quality shone through. Josh Acheampong (Chelsea): At just 19 years old, he is the future of Chelsea at centre-back. I know he will come out of the team at some point this season but he was so calm, kept the ball, kept it moving and did all his jobs really well. For a player his age to be so efficient was excellent. Axel Tuanzebe (Burnley): Another guy for Burnley who was a monster against Leeds. I always find it interesting when teams sign a centre-back from a team who has been relegated, especially one who was injured as much as Tuanzebe was last season. Clearly, he has found a home and Kyle Walker was also excellent next to him. Harry Maguire (Manchester United): Man of the weekend. He was absolutely unreal in the 2-1 win at Liverpool. How many times has this man been written off, both as a player for England, as a captain for Manchester United? If you listen to everything, he has been the problem apparently, however he was fantastic. A real leader, nothing too fancy and that is what you want from your centre-backs. He was effective and very good. Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City): This young man is thriving. I thought when they brought in Rayan Ait-Nouri, he would be deployed in the middle of the pitch but with Ait-Nouri's injury, he has kept going from strength to strength at left-back. He is so calm. His ability to drive and run past people is frightening and another assist as they beat Everton 2-0 as well.
