Stars of Manchester United, Chelsea and Leicester City are among those selected.
Writing in his Daily Mail column, Jamie Redknapp has named his Premier League Team of the Week.
Three weeks into the season and it is finally beginning to feel like everything is back to normal.
Both Manchester clubs and Chelsea maintained their 100% starts to the season, as Arsenal picked up their first three points along with current champions Leicester City.
Two of Redknapp’s former clubs Tottenham and Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane, with Jurgen Klopp’s side unlucky not to take maximum points.
It proved a tough weekend for the promoted sides with only Middlesbrough notching a point at the Hawthorns out of the three.
So who impressed Redknapp the most during the third round of fixtures?
The busy Eldin Jakupovic takes the No 1 spot after he and his stubborn Hull City defence held Manchester United until a cruel 92nd minute winner from Marcus Rashford.
Virgil Van Dijk of Southampton partners Middlesbrough’s Ben Gibson in the heart of a back four, while United’s Antonio Valencia and Chelsea’s Cesar Azpilicueta take up the full-back positions, proving driving forces from the wing in their sides’ victories.
Redknapp opts for three in the middle for the third week running, with Everton’s midfield general Idrissa Gueye partnered alongside the superb Danny Drinkwater of Leicester and Mesut Ozil, who headed home Arsenal’s third at the end of an excellent first half at Vicarage Road.
Up front, Eden Hazard continued to show that he is rediscovering the form that saw him crowned Player of the Year two seasons ago. Alexis Sanchez, who scored one and set up another, makes up the attack with a reborn and scorer of City’s opener and clincher Raheem Sterling.
Three players unlucky to miss out:
Artur Boruc – Saved a Yohan Cabaye penalty, though his stop to deny Andros Townsend was even better. Unfortunate to miss out on all three points at the very end through Crystal Palace’s 24th attempt on goal.
Danny Rose – Scorer of Tottenham’s only goal to earn them a point. Excelled in both defence and attack and managed to contain a red hot Sadio Mane as well as he could.
Marcus Rashford – On from the bench, he managed to light up a game on his own once again. His directness and speed sparked the team into life as he tapped home the winner, a testament to his desire.
