Picking the Premier League Team of the Weekend

GK: Al Habsi - Made a series of excellent saves to keep Southampton at bay. Fully deserving of his clean sheet.

Unlucky to miss out: Friedel

RB: Rangel - Was a constant attacking threat, overlapping constantly and looked solid defensively. Goal added to the argument for his inclusion.

Unlucky to miss out: Rafael

CB: Distin - Tasked with keeping Villa's dangerman Bent quiet and barely gave the striker a sniff. Composed and not at fault for Villa consolation.

Unlucky to miss out: Alcaraz

CB: L.Barnett - Helped to keep Norwich's defence sturdy and solid against QPR. Could not be blamed at all for Rangers equaliser.

Unlucky to miss out: Jagielka

LB: Baines - Carried out his defensive duties effectively whilst providing a great option outside on touchline. Excellent assist to boot.

Unlucky to miss out: Evra

CM: Fellaini - Just as with Man United, Fellaini dominated Aston Villa's midfield. Fast becoming one of the Premier Leagues best players.

Unlucky to miss out: Kagawa

CM: Hazard - Narrowly missed out last week, but thoroughly deserves his squad place. Assist and a goal topped off a highly influential display.

Unlucky to miss out: Pienaar

CM: Allen - Has added a calming presence to the Liverpool midfield and kept the ball moving superbly. All the play went through the Welshman.

Unlucky to miss out: Michu

WG: Dyer - Continued where he left off last week, and was a constant thorn to West Ham. Pace makes him dangerous and showed himself as a true team player.

Unlucky to miss out: Routledge

ST: Tevez - Was City's most effective attacking option and the controversial striker picked up a goal and assist for his efforts.

Unlucky to miss out: Torres

WG: Sterling - The youngster was given the surprise nod and repaid the faith with an exciting performance. Cross early on showed supreme ability.

Unlucky to miss out: Snodgrass
