Who has made Troy's Premier League team of the week? After every round of Premier League matches this season, BBC football pundit Troy Deeney will give you his team and manager of the Week. Here are this week's choices. Do you agree? Give us your thoughts using the comments form at the bottom of this page. Emi Martinez (Aston Villa): Solid, comfortable, he just does everything well, doesn't he? Another really good performance between the posts for an in-form Aston Villa side. Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa): He has grown from strength to strength and become one of the best centre-backs in English football.

Murillo (Nottingham Forest): He was a monster for Nottingham Forest, an absolute powerhouse. He loves defending and you have seen that with his last-second clearance off the line. He doesn't over-egg things, just defends. Neco Williams (Nottin...

Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Ange Postecgolou became the first Spurs manager to lose his first four matches against Chelsea BBC Sport football news reporter, at Stamford Bridge Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou is looking more isolated than ever. The Australian directed a brief clap towards the furious travelling away fans from near the halfway line following his side's 1-0 loss at Chelsea but, by then, it could be argued the damage had already been done. Enzo Fernandez's second-half header was enough to inflict a 16th defeat of the season on Tottenham and leave them 14th in the Premier League - 10 points away from the top 10 - and the signs are growing the fans have had enough. Chants of "you don't know what you're doing" came from the away end after midfielder Lucas Bergvall was replaced by Pape Sarr in the 65th minute. Remarkably, Sarr found the net with an excellent long-range strike just four minutes later, leading Postecog...
