Liverpool maintained their narrow lead in the title race over the weekend, grabbing a late, late win at Nottingham Forest to stay one point above Manchester City ahead of Sunday's titanic duel between the clubs.
Darwin Nunez was the Reds' hero, coming off the bench to score the winner in the 1-0 victory in the NINTH minute of stoppage time.
That seismic impact has earned Nunez a place in the Team of the Week chosen by the Premier League's record goalscorer Alan Shearer.
Alphonse Areola (West Ham)
"A superb penalty save, plus eight other stops. He's my goalkeeper for the second week running."
Ben White (Arsenal)
"Another goal and another top performance from the defender."
Fabian Schar (Newcastle)
"Sturdy at the back and really played his part in Newcastle's forward play."
Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
"A defensive rock who played a huge part in the clean sheet that meant Liverpool only needed that one opening at the end to grab the win."
Edson Alvarez (West Ham)
"A really impressive performance, capped off by a deserved late goal. He could prove to be a bargain."
Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle)
"Instrumental in everything good for Newcastle."
Phil Foden (Man City)
"Now City’s go-to player, scoring two more great goals."
Martin Odegaard (Arsenal)
"A captain's performance. He set the tone with his early opener and kept Arsenal pushing for more and more goals in that first half."
Harry Wilson (Fulham)
"Top performance and a nicely-taken goal, helping Fulham secure back-to-back victories."
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
"His all-round game was superb and he was inches away from a hat-trick after hitting the post as well as scoring twice."
Darwin Nunez (Liverpool)
"That goal was massive for Liverpool. He is now delivering in big moments."
Manager: Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
"Another big goal tally from the Gunners. No one will want to face them at the moment."
