Harry Redknapp has picked his best 11 performers from the weekend’s action.
The Premier League team of the weekend that has most impressed him.
Included in his top 11 are two stand out players for Newcastle United against Nottingham Forest on Saturday at the City Ground.
Harry Redknapp explaining to BetVictor why he chose this Newcastle United pair amongst his Premier League team of the week:
Caoimhin Kelleher
A defender who can score goals is always an advantage. Fabian Schär got two goals recently against Aston Villa and he scored another against Nottingham Forest at the weekend, and what a goal it was. His fantastic half-volley put Newcastle back in the lead and helped his side get their 3-2 victory.
Gabriel
Harry Maguire
Bukayo Saka
Declan Rice
Another player who picked up a double was the brilliant Bruno Guimarães. His two wonderful volleys secured a vital result for Newcastle against Nottingham Forest. It seems the gaffer gave him a bit more freedom to play higher up the pitch and it paid off. He showed great technique to get his first and his second was a truly sublime strike.
Sergio Reguilón
Conor Gallagher
Erling Haaland
Rodrigo Muniz
