With thanks to Life Style Sports, we're bringing the Premier League team of the week, with all the stats to back it up.

Instead of having to listen to our often wrong opinion, we've decided to team up with the good people at whoscored.com to show you the best team from an action packed weekend of Premier League action.

Goalkeeper

Rob Elliot-9.0

Irish international Rob Elliot turned in a performance of the highest quality as Newcastle somehow came away from Dean Court with all three points on Saturday afternoon.

Bournemouth had an astonishing 20 shots throughout the game with five of them being on target yet they were still unable to get one past Elliot. The Newcastle stopper has no registered consecutive clean sheets and may even be in with a shout to face Bosnia.

Right Back

Bacary Sagna-7.6

Manchester City were left frustrated by Aston Villa on Sunday in a top vs bottom clash at Villa Park. Despite dominating proceedings the visitors couldn't make a breakthrough.

One man who can hold his head up from the performance is Bacary Sagna. City terrorised Villa down the right hand side and if it weren't for some poor finishing they'd have left with all three points.

Smalling turned in another strong performance as United registered yet another clean sheet at home to West Brom on Saturday.

They may be struggling a bit up top but United have now gone 555 minutes without conceding and Smalling has played a pivotal role.

Left Back

Alberto Moreno-7.7

Liverpool may have lost out to Palace on Sunday evening but the performance of Alberto Moreno cannot be questioned.

The full back made seven tackles for his side and posed a constant threat going forward too.

Defensive Midfield

N'Golo Kante-8.3

Recommended

Leicester's summer signing has been one of the unsung heroes of their remarkable Premier League campaign so far.

Usually deployed to protect his back four, Kante found himself on the scoresheet on Saturday as the Foxes moved joint top for a short period.

Defensive Midfield

Yann M'Vila-8.3

M'Villa arrived at Sunderland this Summer with a fiery reputation but he has been a consistent performer for both Dick Advocaat and Sam Allardyce.

He turned in another good performance on Saturday and will be disappointed to have found himself on the losing side however it was his challenge which led to the penalty for the visitors.

Right Midfield

Wilfried Zaha-8.2

Crystal Palace winger Zaha played a pivotal role in the Eagles massive win away at Anfield.

The England international has 9 successful dribbles as he posed a constant threat to the the Reds' back four.

Unbelievable performance from the whole team to grind out the win! Gotta thank the most high always ???? #Cpfc

Centre Midfield

Moussa Dembélé-8.1

Belgian international Dembélé has started showing the form which made Spurs sign him from Fulham back in 2012.

He put in another strong all-round performance as Tottenham were unlucky to leave the Emirates without a win.

Left Midfield

Phillipe Coutinho-8.5

Coutinho's goal against Palace may not have been enough to earn his side a win but it does earn him a spot on our team of the week for the second week in a row.

The Brazilian playmaker is finally starting to show glimpses of the player he was last season.
