Marcus Rashford terrific for Manchester United, David Silva and Ederson shine for City: Premier League team of the week

Richard Jolly picks his best XI from Saturday and Sunday's games

Goalkeeper: Ederson (Manchester City) – Stunning saves from Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha helped a team without specialist centre-backs stop Crystal Palace scoring. AFP

Right-back: Max Aarons (Norwich) – Played his part as an injury-hit Norwich got their first clean sheet of the season by shutting Bournemouth out in a stalemate. Reuters

Centre-back: Christian Kabasele (Watford) – A rock at the back as Watford came agonisingly close to their first win of the season. Blameless for Tottenham’s goal. EPA

Centre-back: Yerry Mina (Everton) – The Colombian produced his best performance of the season to dominate at the back against West Ham. Also almost scored. Reuters

Left-back: Marcos Alonso (Chelsea) – Showed his attacking instincts with the vital late winner against Newcastle, while preventing them from having a shot on target. Reuters

Right midfield: Theo Walcott (Everton) – A surprise starter, but had a huge influence against West Ham. Hit the woodwork twice and played the pass to Bernard for the opener. AFP

Centre midfield: Youri Tielemans (Leicester City) – The best player on the pitch against Burnley. The Belgian oozed class and deserved his well-taken winner. AFP

Centre midfield: David Silva (Manchester City) – Took a superb counter-attacking goal wonderfully well, showing technique and intelligence, to bring a crucial breakthrough. Reuters

Left midfield: Jack Grealish (Aston Villa) – Scored one goal and made another as Villa beat Brighton to record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since 2015. Reuters

Centre forward: Danny Ings (Southampton) – Showed why he has won back his place in the Saints side by scoring for a fourth consecutive game in the draw with Wolves. Reuters

Centre forward: Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) – A terrific display against Liverpool, capped with a goal. Counter-attacked well and was important tactically. EPA

Sunday's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford did neither Manchester club any favours, but there was certainly some encouraging displays from both United and City players.

With United closing in on a much-needed win over a top-four rival, Liverpool needed a late goal from substitute Adam Lallana to salvage a draw and maintain Jurgen Klopp's side's unbeaten start in the Premier League.

United were the better side for large periods, with goalscorer Marcus Rashford the epitome of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tactical approach.

The England striker opened the scoring on 36 minutes, showing great movement in the box to evade the attention of Joel Matip to apply the finishing touch to a Daniel James cross and was at the fore of United's counter-attacks.

The points dropped allowed Manchester City to make up a little ground, with Saturday's 2-0 win at Crystal Palace punctuated by a superb David Silva finish for City's second, while goalkeeper Ederson denied both Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha  with stunning saves at the opposite end.

Youri Tielemans capped a brilliant individual performance with Leicester City's winner against Burnley while Theo Walcott was the creative fulcrum that helped Everton record a 2-0 win at home to West Ham United.
