Premier League Team of the Week: Semenyo, Willock, and More
Antoine Semenyo (Man City): Scored twice and assisted once. He appears to be playing with more freedom under manager Enzo Maresca, a subtle difference from his predecessor Pep Guardiola, who micromanages every action.
Joe Willock (Newcastle): Showing increased confidence this season. Like others, he was used sparingly by previous boss Eddie Howe but now plays consistently. Injuries make him the key midfielder again, bringing high energy, goals, and an impressive ability to dribble past opponents for significant distances.
Chema Andres (Brighton): Dominating the midfield against Arsenal. Manager Fabian Hurzeler's tactics were outstanding. Andres recovered the ball at least 15 times from Declan Rice, Bruno Guimaraes, and Martin Odegaard. His positioning and ball retention were excellent, capped by a goal.
Johan Manzambi (Aston Villa): Justifies his transfer fee. Impressive for Freiburg last season, he made an immediate impact in his first start for Villa after an injury layoff, delivering one goal and one assist.
