Troy Deeney's Team of the Week: Martinez, Konsa, Murillo, Williams, Jones, Yates, Tonali, Fernandez, Grealish, Delap, Elanga - Discussions
===================
In this week's edition of Troy Deeney's Team of the Week, the former Watford and England striker has picked out several impressive performers from across the Premier League landscape. Do you agree with his selections? Share your thoughts below.
Goalkeeper: Emi Martinez (Aston Villa)
Martinez once again stood tall between the posts for an in-form Aston Villa side, delivering another solid and comfortable performance.
Defenders: Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Murillo (Nottingham Forest), Neco Williams (Nottingham Forest)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Konsa has been a rock at the heart of Villa's defence, growing from strength to strength and becoming one of the best centre-backs in English football. Murillo was a monster for Nottingham Forest, delivering an outstanding performance and a last-second clearance off the line. Williams has been impressive all season for Forest, handling the switch from left-back to right-back against Manchester United with ease.
Midfielders: Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Ryan Yates (Nottingham Forest), Sandro Tonali (Newcastle), Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jones showed great maturity in handling a tough derby against Everton, while Yates was the best player on the pitch for Forest, excelling in the dirty work and understanding the game. Tonali has had an impressive year, coming back from a ban to become a key figure in Newcastle's midfield. Fernandez is starting to grow on Deeney more and more, with Chelsea's midfield starting to click as the season progresses.
Forwards: Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Liam Delap (Ipswich), Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grealish has impressed despite speculation surrounding his future, scoring the opening goal against Leicester and performing well against Bournemouth in the FA Cup. Delap was the hero for Ipswich, scoring a massive goal in a crucial game to keep their survival hopes alive. Elanga ran Manchester United ragged with a breathtaking performance, scoring one goal and causing chaos throughout the match.
Manager: Kieran McKenna (Ipswich)
----------------------------------
Ipswich's win away at Bournemouth was a must-win game, especially after Wolves' victory over West Ham the night before. McKenna masterminded a hard-fought victory, keeping Ipswich's relegation hopes alive with a vital 2-1 win.
