Alan Shearer's team of the festive period

With the 2022/23 festive programme now complete, Alan Shearer has picked the players that have impressed him over the 30 matches and selected his team of the festive period.

Shearer, the Premier League Hall of Fame inductee, has named four players from Manchester United after they claimed three wins to move into fourth.

David De Gea (MUN)
P3 W3 CS3
"No one could get past him over the festive period and he made a couple of crucial saves in the win over Wolves."

Kieran Trippier (NEW)
P3 W1 D2 A1 CS3
"A rock in defence and a real leader of the team. He is key to Newcastle United keeping three clean sheets, while assisting Joelinton's goal against Leicester City."

Sven Botman (NEW)
P3 W1 D2 CS3
"Imperious in the best defence in the division."

Luke Shaw (MUN)
P3 W3 G1 CS3
"He seems rejuvenated under Erik ten Hag, filling in superbly in the centre of defence when needed and scoring with a nice finish against AFC Bournemouth."

Casemiro (MUN)
P3 W3 G1 A1 CS1
"The Brazilian is the heartbeat of his side and key to their revival, a highly effective influence in the Man Utd midfield."

Christian Norgaard (BRE)
P3 W2 D1 A1
"Played all but eight minutes and claimed an assist as Brentford drew with Spurs and defeated both West Ham and Liverpool."

Solly March (BHA)
P3 W2 L1 G2 A1
"His two goals, including a screamer against Southampton, helped Brighton continue their impressive campaign."

Gabriel Martinelli (ARS)
P3 W2 D1 G2
"Two goals in three matches show the importance of the Brazilian to this Arsenal side. He has already beaten his previous best PL goal tally for a season."

Marcus Rashford (MUN)
P3 W3 G3 A1
"A player reborn and getting back to his marauding best. Responded brilliantly to being dropped for oversleeping by scoring the winner against Wolves."

Martin Odegaard (ARS)
P3 W2 D1 G1 A3
"He makes Arsenal tick. The Norwegian's assist for Martinelli against Brighton was sublime."

Harry Kane (TOT)
P3 W1 D1 L1 G3
"Once again Kane was Tottenham Hotspur's inspiration, scoring three goals to keep his side's top-four charge alive. Just pipped Aleksandar Mitrovic into my team."

Manager: Erik ten Hag (MUN)
"He has stamped his authority and way of playing on Man Utd and the club are starting to reap the rewards."
