Every round of English football fixtures throughout the campaign, football pundit Troy Deeney presents his team and manager of the Week.

Below are this week's choices. What's your opinion? Share your thoughts with the comments form at the bottom.

Keeper

Alphonse Areola (West Ham): The Hammers might have been six behind at Bournemouth but for him. Key display, delivered and showed some quality. Superb shot-stopping to earn them a 2-2 draw. Losing would have damaged their entire term.

Defensive unit

Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace): He's in the running for top performer. Many discuss about Arsenal players. He is the best performer without doubt.

Murillo (Nottingham Forest): It would take a crazy Forest fan to say 'He scores and we'll beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield'. You could have gotten huge prices on that. He performed brilliantly. He is emerging as a force. He can really be a tough opponent. Pleased to see him playing similar to before.

Malick Thiaw (Newcastle): I watched him a few times the previous season in Italy for AC Milan and he was getting killled due to errors. But at Newcastle he's been a monster. He has shown great strength and powerful and appears graceful. It appears he has discovered a perfect fit.

Ferdi Kadioglu (Brighton): Not naturally a full-back, leaning towards a modern type offensively. He's been a wonderful signing for Brighton. Who would be surprised at them finding another gem unexpectedly? I thought after selling Pervis Estupinan that was strange but the club is aware better than most.

Central players

Sander Berge (Fulham) and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest): Alike in style and they make it for the shared purpose. Their teams won, everyone will talk those who netted, but lacking these players the squads falter. They are so good. They disrupt opposition, they support going forward.

Eberechi Eze (Arsenal): The standout performer. Numerous supporters, including my son, expressed skepticism if he could be the man to get them over the top. Three strikes in the key match and supporters now wish to make a statue of him. Scoring, calmness, he controlled the game. The standout individual on the pitch.

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa): Maybe this is point of agreement with Thomas Tuchel on - he has got to a point now where it is quite challenging to drop Morgan Rogers. My view was he began well the term, I believe he acted with some expectation and hoped he might join to Chelsea, and probably wanted that, but he has settled down. Two great goals in the Leeds match helped his club when trailing. He made the impact.

Forwards

Callum Wilson (West Ham): I noted he doesn't look his normal self. It seemed his pace had gone. But wow. Simply phenomenal. He performed superbly. Outstanding in his movement and with his two finishes.

Harvey Barnes (Newcastle): A very notable player. He plays well, typically sharper as a substitute, but due to Gordon's absence so he has to play. He squandered a huge chance against Manchester City at 0-0 with his simplest attempt. Yet possessing the mental fortitude to place himself into tough scenarios and get a brace was impressive.

Boss

Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest): He comes in and beats Arne Slot. A wonderful gameplan. It could have been several more for Forest and few would dispute.
