Football pundit Troy Deeney has revealed his Premier League Team of the Week following the latest round of matches on 2 November 2026. Deeney selected a lineup highlighted by standout performances from Arsenal, Tottenham, Coventry, and Hull City players.

In goal, Brighton's Bart Verbruggen earned praise for a series of crucial saves in a 1-0 win at Manchester City, including a last-ditch stop that hit him in the face. The back four features Tottenham's Archie Gray, who scored and defended well against Crystal Palace, Arsenal's Ezri Konsa, described as a beast in the 1-0 victory at Anfield, Tottenham's Jan Paul van Hecke, who added a goal and continues to grow into his role, and Arsenal's Jurrien Timber, who recovered well after a missed shirt-pull incident.

Midfield selections include Chelsea's Romeo Lavia, noted for breaking up play and providing an assist before Manchester United's red card, and Arsenal captain Declan Rice, lauded for a complete performance with an assist. Coventry's Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Aston Villa's Johan Manzambi were recognized for their work rate and creativity, with Manzambi providing another assist before being rested for a Champions League fixture.

Up front, Hull City's Ollie McBurnie epitomized his team's spirit with goals and assists in a draw against Ipswich, while Coventry's Taiwo Awoniyi scored an unbelievable solo goal. Coventry manager Frank Lampard was named Manager of the Week after his side's aggressive six-pointer win over Sunderland, with a nod also to Arsenal's Mikel Arteta for the victory at Liverpool.
