Man Utd & Liverpool Dominate Premier League Team of the Week

Manchester United and Liverpool have dominated the latest WhoScored Premier League Team of the Week with seven players coming from the two North-West rivals.

It was a limited mid-week fixture list but there were still five games to choose from and United continued their push for the top four with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

Three of Louis van Gaal’s defenders have made the cut with Antonio Valencia putting in another solid display at right-back to earn a rating of 7.82 while Daley Blind’s 7.57 was also enough to see him make the TOTW. Matteo Darmian was the final United representative as the Italian scored a superb goal to secure the win and a rating of 8.37.

Liverpool continued to improve under Jurgen Klopp as they thrashed Mersey rivals Everton 4-0 at Anfield and unsurprisingly James Milner has made the Team of the Week after grabbing two assists in an excellent display that earned him a rating of 9.70.

Mamadou Sakho got himself on the score-sheet and has been joined in the TOTW by fellow goal-scorers Philippe Coutinho [9.28] and Divock Origi [8.16] to make it four Liverpool players in the line-up.

Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez also makes the cut after scoring both goals during a 2-0 win over West Brom last night while West Ham duo Andy Carroll and Mark Noble are also included after scoring during the Hammers 3-1 win over Watford.
