Troy Deeney’s team of the week: Garner, Welbeck and Rigg

Chris Rigg (Sunderland): It was a solid performance from Rigg in a memorable Tyne-Wear derby. He did not do anything exceptional against Newcastle but he did everything really, really well. With Rigg, you know what you are getting from him.

James Garner (Everton): He could have just chilled out after getting called up to the England squad this week. But instead, he cracked on and put in a great performance. It was a lovely assist from him to Beto for Everton‘s opener. Having played with him at Watford, I know he’s all about high energy and big tackles. He has got it all and I hope he does well for England to force his way into that World Cup squad.

John McGinn (Aston Villa): He’s their captain, leader and heartbeat. It’s been two massive performances in the space of a week from him. Villa are a decent team. But McGinn makes them a great one. If they are to finish in the top five and challenge for the Europa League title, they will need him to continue performing at this level.

Harry Wilson (Fulham): He has made a habit of scoring big goals and he did that again this week. I wonder how they are going to replace him if he decides to leave. They are not going to spend £60m on somebody with his qualities. They need him to sign a new contract as he is a massively important part of that Fulham squad.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): It feels like the Portuguese midfielder is becoming a permanent fixture in the team of the week. You have to put him in again after another goal, and also forcing the James Hill own goal. How long can United remain average and keep him before he decides it is time to leave the club?
