Who have earned spots in the expert's English top-flight top performers lineup?

Each round of top-flight games in the current term, expert commentator Troy Deeney presents his lineup and coach of the Week.

Below are the most recent picks. What's your opinion? Share your thoughts via the feedback section at the bottom.

Goalkeeper

Alphonse Areola (West Ham): The Hammers were close to being trailing by six at Bournemouth if it wasn't for him. Massive moment, delivered and demonstrated top ability. Some top goalkeeping to secure a 2-2 draw. A loss would have damaged their campaign.

Backline

Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace): He's in the running for season's best. Many discuss Arsenal's squad. He is the best performer by a country mile.

Murillo (Nottingham Forest): One would need to be a crazy Forest fan to say 'Murillo nets and we'll beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield'. You'd have got huge prices on that. He performed brilliantly. He's becoming a powerhouse. He can really be a tough opponent. Pleased to observe his form like last season.

Malick Thiaw (Newcastle): I watched him multiple matches the previous season in Italy for AC Milan and he struggled due to errors. But at Newcastle he's been a monster. He has shown immense power and forceful and appears graceful. It seems he has secured a spiritual home.

Ferdi Kadioglu (Brighton): Not naturally a left-back, rather a modern type in attack. He's been a great purchase for Brighton. Who would be surprised at them discovering another star out of nowhere? It seemed after selling Pervis Estupinan it was odd but the Seagulls understand better than most.

Engine room

Sander Berge (Fulham) and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest): Similar players and they're in for the shared purpose. Their sides were victorious, many mention the scorers, but lacking these players the squads falter. They are so good. They disrupt opposition, they support going forward.

Eberechi Eze (Arsenal): The current star. A lot of followers, like my child, had doubts if he could be the man to secure victory. Three strikes in the north London derby and now they want to make a statue of him. Scoring, calmness, he dominated. The best player on the pitch.

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa): Maybe this is point of agreement with Thomas Tuchel on - he is at a point now where it is extremely tough to drop Morgan Rogers. I didn't think he had a great start to the season, I think he seemed somewhat presumptuous and believed he could join to Chelsea, and probably wanted that, but he seems to have settled down. Two great goals obviously against Leeds pulled his side when trailing. He was the difference maker.

Attackers

Callum Wilson (West Ham): I noted he doesn't look his typical form. He appeared as if he'd lost a yard. But wow. Simply phenomenal. He was excellent. Outstanding in his movement and with his two finishes.

Harvey Barnes (Newcastle): A very notable player. He plays well, usually better off the bench, but Anthony Gordon has an injury so he is required to feature. He squandered a great opportunity against Manchester City at 0-0 with his simplest attempt. However showing the inner resilience to place himself into difficult situations and net two was remarkable.

Manager

Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest): He arrives and beats Arne Slot. A superb tactical approach. It might have been multiple goals for Forest and all would agree.
