After one week away for the International break, the Premier League returned this week with a few fantastic games. Chelsea vs Tottenham was a thriller and some other closely fought games contributed to a good Premier League weekend. A win for Norwich was surely the highlight over Wenger's Arsenal.
Formation: 4-4-2
GK - John Ruddy - Norwich and England keeper Ruddy kept a cleansheet against Arsenal, with help from his defence, they completed a total shut out of Wenger's wide and a few good saves mean he makes our team.
RB - Sascha Riether - The Cottagers ground out a tough 1-0 win at the weekend, and the clean sheet was in no small part down to this man. A gutsy effory in defence compounded a gritty victory.
CB - Gary Cahill - Replacing John Terry in the Chelsea side at the weekend, Cahill showed he is no mug, scoring the first goal and contributing well in defence. Will Terry really be missed so greatly?
CB - Fabricio Coloccini - Sideshow Bob lookalike Coloccini gave a clinic in how to defend this weekend, a teriffic display ensures that he cements a spot in this week's team. He won 96% of his aerial battles, a great statistic.
LB - Javier Garrido - Again a part of Nowrich's miracle on Saturday, Garrido helped greatly with the keeping of the clean sheet and proved a threat going forward, assisting a couple of promising attacks.
CM - Mark Noble - His two goals catapulted West Ham to 6th in the table for a time, their good start to their Premier League return is no fluke. A solid 4-1 win over Southampton with Noble starring means he makes the side.
RW - Wayne Routledge - Swansea's lively winger provided a great outlet down their flank throughout their game and return to winning ways. A large hand in their first goal and nearly an assist for Michu later on meant he find his way into the TOTW.
LW - Raheem Sterling - The Youngster wonthe game for Liverpool at the weekend with a well taken goal and epitomises the youth growth at the club right now. A real threat down the flank.
CAM - Juan Mata - For what seems like the umpteenth time, Chelsea's little Spaniard finds himself embedded in our TOTW. Yet another Man of the Match performance against Tottenham, with two goals and an assist, meant that he is the man to watch at the moment.
FWD - Wayne Rooney - Rooney's Saturday afternoon may have started slightly differently, but it ended on a high as the frontman grabbed his first two Premier League goals of the season in what turned out to be a fairly comfortable win for United.
FWD - Edin Dzeko - With City struggling and a man down at the Hawthorns on Saturday, the Bosnian super sub came on and completely turned the game around, Two goals in a 20 minute smash and grab means he was probably the most effective player in terms of time on the pitch last weekend.
Subs - Schwarzer, Jagielka, Riise, Nolan, Ramires, Michu, Van Persie
Manager - Chris Hughton
