The second week of the 2024/25 Premier League season has been witnessed. Some teams got great results, some built from last week’s performance, while some fell off. Of course, players are the ones that do the job on the field of play and they are recognized here. The Premier League Team of the Week of Sporty Chefs is ready and the fans can take a look at it.
The line-up takes the shape of a 3–4-3 formation.
GK – David Raya
The Arsenal shot-stopper was instrumental as the Gunners defeated their last season’s nemesis, Aston Villa 2-0 away from home. The Euros 2024 winner had to pull off a couple of incredible saves and high claims to maintain the Gunners’ clean-sheet record in the first 2 games.
CB – Cristian Romero
The World Cup winner latched on to a corner kick and headed home off the crossbar and into the net as Spurs ran out 4-0 winners against Everton. He also got a clean sheet as the North London outfit put behind their disappointing last week performance against Leicester City to win.
CB – William Saliba
William Saliba was no doubt one of the best centrebacks last season in the Premier League. He has not relented but continued his marvelous displays this season as well. He put up another world-class defensive show during Arsenal’s 2-0 away win over Aston Villa. Of course, he got his daily bread, a clean sheet.
CB – Micky Van de Ven
Wow! The Spurs centreback pulled off the best assist of the season so far with a splendid run against Everton. Aside from that, he defended superbly on the day as the London side put up a complete performance at the weekend.
RB – Trent Alexander-Arnold
The Liverpool right-back had a great display as the Reds eased past visitors, Brentford with a 2-0 win. Defensively he was good and attacking-wise he was superb and was unlucky not to get an assist in the game. Alexander-Arnold has bagged his second clean sheet of the season under new boss Arne Slot.
LB – Antonee Robinson
Fulham grinded out a 2-1 win over promoted side, Leicester City over the weekend. However, the West London side won the game thanks to a superb performance from their American left-back, Antonee Robinson. Robinson provided the assist for Alex Iwobi’s goal – a goal that turned out to be the match-winner.
DMF – James Milner
James Milner was solid in the middle of the park as Brighton got a late winner to beat Man United 2-1 at home. He stood his ground by winning duels, tackles, and interceptions as he held the midfield of the Seagulls together.
CMF – Morgan Rogers
Morgan Rogers was the standout Aston Villa player during their 2-0 home loss to Arsenal. His ball carries, dribbles, drive, and link-up plays caused the Gunners mayhem during the game. For him to be on the losing side and still be in this team shows how well he performed.
LW – Cole Palmer
Although he played as an attacking midfielder in the game against Wolverhampton, he appears in our team on the leftwing. He provided 3 assists and scored a goal as the Blues walloped their opponents 6-2 away from home.
RW – Noni Madueke
One of the hattrick heroes of the week, Noni Madueke, utterly destroyed and overcame Wolves. Wolves fans began to boo Madueke for every touch of the ball he made early in the game. However, the Chelsea Winger silenced them all with his spectacular performance.
CF – Erling Haaland
The Norwegian forward blasted in another hattrick in his Premier League career over the weekend against new boys, Ipswich Town. His scoring habit has terrified other teams in the league over and over again. He has his eyes set on another Premier League Golden Boot.
Coach of the week – Ange Postecoglou
