  "account": "After every round of Premier League matches this season, BBC football pundit Troy Deeney shares his team and manager of the week. Here are this week's selections. Give your thoughts using the comments form at the bottom of this page.\n\nBart Verbruggen (Brighton) was unreal, making lots of saves that kept his team in the game. He was the reason they didn't lose by two or three goals.\n\nArchie Gray (Tottenham) scored and defended well. He was under a lot of pressure, but now Tottenham is starting to pick up, so he deserves some credit.\n\nEzri Konsa (Arsenal) was a beast. He defended and fought for the team, getting the job done.\n\nJan Paul van Hecke (Tottenham) got a goal and is growing into his role at Spurs. He has had a solid start.\n\nMicky van de Ven supports Jan Paul van Hecke, giving him the confidence to be aggressive.\n\nJurrien Timber (Arsenal) got away with a shirt pull on Alexander Isak. He recovered and defended well at full-back.\n\nRomeo Lavia (Chelsea) was excellent for Chelsea. Despite being down to 10 men, he broke up play and kept the ball moving.\n\nDeclan Rice (Arsenal) had a captain's performance, getting the job done all over the pitch. He also had a little assist for himself.\n\nTatsuhiro Sakamoto (Coventry) works hard for the team and is very humble in his approach. He delivered in a massive game for Coventry.\n\nJohan Manzambi (Aston Villa) is a 21-year-old who is flying. He has confidence and is taking over the Villa team. He was taken off before the crucial Champions League game against Barcelona, but Fulham couldn't stop him until then.\n\nOllie McBurnie (Hull) epitomizes his team's spirit and fight. He had goals and assists in his game.\n\nTaiwo Awoniyi (Coventry) scored a solo goal, showing he is back and can impose himself. He will be key if Coventry are to stay up.\n\nFrank Lampard (Coventry) has been really good. Coventry took care of business against Sunderland, coming out aggressive against a strong Sunderland team.\n\nMikel Arteta (Arsenal) got a nod for getting the job done at Liverpool.",
