Troy Deeney’s Premier League Team of the Week Features Isak, Konsa, and Mitchell

Following the latest round of Premier League fixtures, BBC football pundit Troy Deeney has unveiled his team of the week, highlighting standout performances from across the division.

In goal, Arsenal’s David Raya earned his spot, with Deeney praising his “huge saves” as evidence that he remains the best goalkeeper in the league due to his ability to consistently produce crucial moments.

The defense saw two Arsenal men selected alongside Liverpool’s Ronald Araujo and Crystal Palace’s Tyrick Mitchell. Ezri Konsa was commended for a solid performance, specifically for a massive tackle on Morgan Rogers, with Deeney noting that Konsa has become indispensable to the Arsenal side. Ronald Araujo received recognition for his strong showing at right-back for Liverpool, marking a contrast to some of his previous defensive outings. Meanwhile, Tyrick Mitchell was lauded for scoring two goals from left-back, with Deeney calling him “Mr Consistent” for his often-underrecognized reliability.

In midfield, Harvey Barnes impressed for Newcastle with a well-taken goal, while Martin Odegaard was celebrated as a “captain, leader and a massive winner” for Arsenal. Cody Gakpo also made the list for creating two goals for Liverpool, a notable feat given his recent club transitions. Fulham’s Cesar Palacios and Brentford’s Vitaly Janelt were selected for their solid, workmanlike displays in the middle of the park.

Leading the attack were Alexander Isak and Kai Havertz. Isak, despite recent criticism regarding his form, was highlighted by Deeney, who reminded observers that the striker was once tipped for the Golden Boot. Havertz was named Arsenal’s best striker, praised for his consistent output and status as the team’s best finisher and footballer.

Troy Deeney also named David Moyes as his manager of the week. The Everton boss was recognized for delivering a positive result despite a challenging transfer window that saw him lose several attacking options.
