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.

Semi Ajayi (Hull City): Coming up with Hull is the only way he was going to ever play in the Premier League. He has been doing the rounds in the Championship for years. A real good solid pro. He has taken this opportunity and he's been an absolute beast, so fair play to him.

Nordi Mukiele (Sunderland): He was great last season, a real, real powerful centre-half. Again, a top performance from him. Fulham had no shots on target - he was a massive part of that.

James Tarkowski (Everton): It was a captain's performance for Everton. Just one of those guys that you just want in your team. No one ever respects him, no one ever rates him, but when you play against him and when he's in your team, he's a real bloke. Proper captain, proper leader of men, and kept going right to the end. And ultimately, even though the two Bournemouth defenders decided to mark themselves, he was the one who got the goal.

James McAtee (Nottingham Forest): He absolutely ran the game at Anfield from start to finish. Getting on the ball in the pockets, half-turn, playing forward. He was the reason they were any good, and he's very, very good, but won't be spoken about in the same breath as the goalscorers.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): There's not much more to say. Captain Fantastic, three goals, an assist, and nearly scored from the halfway line. Where would Manchester United be without him? Relegated is the answer.

Rayan Cherki (Manchester City): My favourite player in world football to watch. Amazing the way he's gifted with the ball, the way he manipulates the ball, and also the way he's able to think for himself. And I just like the fact he's carefree. He just wants to play football, so that's great.

Anthony Elanga (Newcastle): Back-to-back weeks, another great goal, another great performance. Just looks like he's had another lease of life under this manager. And I wonder whether we're going to see the Elanga that we saw at Nottingham Forest, just terrorising defences with that pace. But also, before he even gets there, they're just worried about what he can do.

Yoane Wissa (Newcastle): I had to shoe-horn him in because ultimately he's been great through the middle, but the two strikers have actually scored more and played better than him. But Wissa's a massive part why Newcastle have done well, although he's not being talked about enough in terms of the application that he puts in. So much so, that Woltemade could be sold. That's how much of a good job Wissa has done.
