Midfield
The base of the midfield is all French. Spurs' new signing Tanguy Ndombele was a breath of fresh air in Mauricio Pochettino's midfield. They started without Christian Eriksen, and it would be fair to say they missed his presence, but Ndombele stepped it up and was able to shield his backline at one end while also linking play at the other.
Once Eriksen was on the pitch, the link-up closer to Villa's goal went up a notch and Ndombele really started to shine. The screamer to equalize and start Spurs' comeback was just the cherry on top.
His partner in this Team of the Week midfield double pivot is Manchester United's Paul Pogba. It was one of those performances where he looked untouchable. Though he started off closer to Chelsea's goal, once Manchester United had taken the lead through Rashford's penalty, Pogba dropped deeper and was able to dictate play.
He bypassed Chelsea's midfield easily, finding Rashford's run for his first assist and ending a great run with a layoff for Daniel James to complete a brace of assists.
On either wings, we have blistering pace. The Egyptian Mohamed Salah running down the right-wing and cutting in to destroy any defence is pretty standard. It was in full display against a Norwich side that allowed Salah the space to punish them as the Liverpool forward scored and assisted in a 4-1 victory to kick off the campaign.
Marcus Rashford, who may need to score a lot of goals this season for a Lukaku-less Manchester United, got off to a good start, getting 2 goals against Chelsea. Rashford running in from the left to take on the Chelsea defence worked wonders on more than one occasion, as he won a penalty on the first occasion and was able to find space between the two centre-backs for the second to go on and score both times.
