Premier League team of the week: Sportsrush decides team of the week after Premier League gameweek 4

Premier League team of the week: Sportsrush decides top 11 players after the end of the game-week 4 after considering all match performances.

This game-week showed great set of matches and high number of goals and intense individual performances. Some were match winning and some showed great impact.

Liverpool had a great game against Burnley. The Reds scored three past the home team to seal their 1st spot, while Manchester City are just two points away.

On the other hand, rest of the top-6 sides have dropped points, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspurs ended the match on a 2-2 draw after an intense battle at the Emirates.

Meanwhile, Manchester United once again dropped points after drawing against Southampton, and Chelsea had a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United.

At one hand, this game-week was a goal-fest for the Premier League clubs but four teams have been able to maintain clean-sheets against their opponents.

Overall, the matches did not affect the table massively, as Liverpool and Manchester City are at the same position. However, points dropped by Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United have given some advantage to Leicester City and Crystal Palace.

After all the action, The Sportsrush presents you the team of the week, after analysing all the performances by the teams, and picking certain individuals, who made a significant impact.
