The 2025\/26 Premier League season is just a couple of games away from its end. Arsenal look to be in pole position to win the league title, whilst Tottenham Hotspur have gained an edge over West Ham United in the relegation battle.<\/strong><\/p>\n But who made it into our team of the week? We\u2019ve included stars from teams such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Brighton \u2013 here\u2019s who made the final cut.<\/p>\n Even in the wake Antonin Kinsky\u2019s nightmarish debut for Tottenham, we felt he had much more to offer than what immediately met the eye. Lo and behold, we were right.<\/p>\n Kinsky couldn\u2019t keep a clean sheet against Leeds United, but he prevented them from suffering a damaging defeat, making a pair of world-class saves along the way.<\/p>\n Noussair Mazraoui is threatening to become an afterthought at Manchester United, but he was the best player on the pitch in their tepid 0-0 draw with Sunderland.<\/p>\n The Black Cats seemingly targeted him throughout the game, but it didn\u2019t pay off \u2013 Mazraoui was able to deal with everything that Sunderland could throw at him.<\/p>\n Konstantinos Mavropanos played like a man possessed against Arsenal \u2013 as a former Gunner, he clearly had a point to prove.<\/p>\n Sadly, he would be on the losing team, but it wasn\u2019t for lack of trying. He threw himself into every tackle and duel, making a number of crucial interventions. <\/p>\n Lewis Dunk is doing everything he can to try and carve out a spot in England\u2019s World Cup squad \u2013 and secure European football for his beloved Brighton next season.<\/p>\n Following their 3-0 win over Wolves, they\u2019re now seventh in the table. Not only was Dunk on hand to make sure the Seagulls kept a clean sheet, he also scored their second goal of the game.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 2025\/26 Premier League season is just a couple of games away from its end….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}GK: Antonin Kinsky<\/h2>\n
