Premier League team of matchweek 4: Sterling performances

This bank holiday weekend has thrown up a number of surprises in the Premier League, with a number of the big teams getting beaten. Coral review all the action as we go through our team of the week.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech
Arsenal’s custodian recorded his first clean sheet of the season to cap a promising display for the Gunners who won 1-0 at Newcastle United. The Czech Republic international was in top form as he time and again as he kept the Magpies at bay.

Right back: Joel Ward
The Eagles full back was outstanding as Crystal Palace, odds-on at 4/6 for a top 10 finish with Coral, disposed of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, even getting on the scoresheet himself to make it two goals for the season so far.

Centre back: Joleon Lescott
West Brom put in a solid defensive performance against Stoke City, with Lescott in particular standing out. His communication skills were fantastic on the day, as he organised his teammates and helped keep the Potters at bay.

Centre back: Gabriel Paulista
Signed in January from Villarreal, the young Brazilian put in a very polished performance at St James’ Park as he kept Newcastle’s attacks stifled. He is starting to show just how valuable he can be for Arsene Wenger’s side in time.

Left back: Aaron Cresswell
The Hammers’ left back put in a very professional and mature performance as Slaven Bilic’s side hammered Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield. Responsible for an assist he was a constant threat down the left hand side of the pitch.

Right wing: Raheem Sterling
The 20-year-old attacker is starting to show just how much of a canny signing he was. After a very bright start to the season for a Manchester City side who look in the mood, he dispatched as Manuel Pellegrini’s men beat Watford with a 2-0 victory.
