No Ramsey? Premier League Team Of The Week – Includes Crystal Palace Pair

After the 15th weekend in the Premier League, here is my Team of the Week. Comment below to tell me who you would include.

John Ruddy – Norwich

The Canaries keeper made a string of brilliant saves to deny West Brom anything from their clash at the weekend. Thanks to Ruddy, Norwich ran out 2-0 winners at the Hawthorns and moved up to 14th in the league.

Defenders

Sascha Reither – Fulham

Fulham halted a string of six games without a win with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at home yesterday and the threat from down the left from the visitors was quashed by the German, who had a fine game at full-back.

Laurent Koscielny – Arsenal

The combative Frenchman was up against an in-form Romelu Lukaku and stifled him perfectly. A strong all-round performance in the 1-1 draw.

Joel Ward – Crystal Palace

Palace picked up their second win in a row this weekend when they eased past Cardiff at Selhurst Park, and Ward was essential to that. He swept up whatever was needed to be and also threatened in attack.

Midfielders

Andre Schurrle – Chelsea

The Germany international was in fine form up at the Britannia despite Chelsea eventually losing the game, as he struck two impeccable goals.

Yohan Cabaye – Newcastle

His second half strike at Old Trafford send Manchester United home in tatters after their second defeat at home in a week. The France international also kept the game ticking in the middle throughout.

Steve Sidwell – Fulham

His clever finish set Fulham on their way to an invaluable victory at home to Villa on Sunday and he bossed the midfield against his former side, too. Sidwell’s dogged display allowed the likes of Dimitar Berbatov to thrive.

Ross Barkley – Everton

The young midfielder had a blistering game against the league leaders and caused trouble from the off. He looked sharp, determined and was clever on the ball.

Leroy Fer – Norwich

After a torrid display last time out, Fer was outstanding on Saturday afternoon up in the Midlands. He claimed an assist, contributed defensively and won the vast majority of his headed duels.

Forwards

Luis Suarez – Liverpool

Four goals and an assist against Norwich in midweek, the little South American struck again and saw another of his shots loop in as an own goal.

Marouane Chamakh – Crystal Palace

The Moroccan may not be the deadliest in front of goal, but he took his chance against Cardiff like he had scored prolifically throughout his career.

Sergio Aguero – Manchester City

Like Suarez, the Argentine can’t stop scoring and they both lead the way at the top of the scorers chart after Aguero’s goal against Southampton on Saturday.
