BaTMaN- Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Manchester City continue to sweep all before them, making it five league wins out of five with their victory against Bournemouth. Liverpool looked good beating Chelsea, while Manchester United suffered a second top-flight defeat on the bounce, away at Watford. Arsenal and Tottenham also won but the bottom three of West Ham, Stoke and Sunderland lost again and you can see the top performers from this round of Premier League fixtures in my team of the week, above. Do you agree with Garth's picks? Or would you go for a different team? Why not pick your very own Team of the Week from the shortlist selected by BBC Sport journalists and share it with your friends.

The save from Zlatan Ibrahimovic's header was superb, but the way Heurelho Gomes refused to be intimidated, especially on set pieces, by Manchester United's heavy mob was the most impressive. There was a moment against Watford where Gomes had Chris Smalling, Marouane Fellaini and Ibrahimovic all bearing down on him but he met them head on and left all three in a heap as he punched the ball clear of danger. Most impressive. However, my tip for the title are suddenly looking very shaky and unsure of themselves. United have some fabulous players but I can't help feeling manager Jose Mourinho is accommodating certain individuals in order to keep them onside and he has yet to create a team. I understand it is still a work in progress but Manchester City are getting away. There comes a time when the manager has to make some really tough decisions in order to get the best out of his best players. It's about results not reputations. If Mourinho doesn't find out his best team and system soon he may find more individuals like Gomes standing up to his superstars. Quote
