Premier League Team of the Week: Midweek Matchday 30

Premier League Team of the Week: Midweek Matchday 30

Del

We’re into the final leg of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign. With just eight games left to play, there’s still plenty at stake in the English top-flight. But the outlook is a little different for a number of teams following results across Matchday 30. So, let’s take a look at the culprits for this with a deep drive into the Team of the Week for the mid-week matches. 

By Sam McGuire

Goalkeeper: Emiliano Martínez

Martínez was at his brilliant best for Aston Villa in their 3-0 win over Brighton. The World Cup winner made four saves on his way to an invaluable clean sheet as the Villans push for a European finish. He also picked up a yellow card late on to make it a vintage Martínez masterclass. The 32-year-old faced shots with an xG on Target value of 0.66, made nine recoveries and earned himself an 8.3 FotMob rating.

Right-Back: Kieran Trippier

Trippier has looked back to his old self as of late following a surprise return to the first-team after Lewis Hall picked up an injury. This meant the backline was reshuffled and Trippier was brought back in. The 34-year-old caught the eye against Brentford as Newcastle claimed a 2-1 win over the Bees. He won the most tackles (seven), completed 73% of his passes, carved out two chances and won 90% of his ground duels before sustaining a reported groin injury. 

Centre-Back: Matt Doherty

Doherty put in a dominant showing for Wolves in their important 1-0 win over West Ham United. The 33-year-old completed 80% of his attempted passes, carved out a chance, completed 100% of his attempted dribbles, won 100% of his tackles and made five ball recoveries. He also won four out of six ground duels and three out of three aerial duels. This showing against the Hammers earned him a FotMob score of 8.2. 

Centre-Back: Murillo 

The Nottingham Forest defender was back at it as Nuno Espírito Santo’s side claimed a 1-0 win over Manchester United to keep their hopes of a Champions League finish very much alive. Murillo won 100% of his tackles, made 12 clearances, three blocks and won 100% of his aerial duels as Forest kept a vital clean sheet and picked up an even more important three points at the City Ground.

Left-Back: Nico O’Reilly 

O’Reilly got the nod at left-back for Manchester City in their 2-0 win over Leicester City and the 20-year-old caught the eye. He won the most duels (seven) of anyone, completed 88% of his attempted passes, completed 100% of his attempted dribbles and created one chance for the reigning champions. He made quite the impression and could well retain his place in the starting XI for the remainder of the season. 

Midfield: Morgan Rogers

Rogers now has seven goals and six assists after claiming two assists in Aston Villa’s 3-0 win over Brighton. It was a strange showing by the former Manchester City academy graduate. He was barely involved, attempting just 14 passes, but he was impactful, carving out two chances. He also attempted two dribbles, won 50% of his tackles and 50% of his 12 duels on his way to a FotMob rating of 8.6.

Midfield: Sandro Tonali 

Tonali was the match-winner for Newcastle against Brentford as he scored with a divisive effort. Some feel it was a cross that went wrong, others feel the Italy international purposely caught Mark Flekken out with a shot from an outrageous angle. Even without the goal, the former Milan man did well for the Magpies. He created one chance, completed 100% of his dribbles, won 100% of his tackles and 71% of his ground duels. He was key in Eddie Howe’s side getting the upper hand against Brentford at St James’ Park.

Midfield: Cole Palmer 

Palmer brought an end to his drought in the Premier League by registering his first assist since December 1st as he set up the winner for the Blues in the 1-0 win over Spurs. The three points moved Chelsea back into the top four. Palmer set up two chances for Enzo Maresca’s side and had two shots as Chelsea leapfrogged Man City into fourth position in the Premier League. He also won 100% of his tackles and five of his nine duels in what was an all-round impressive showing.

Midfield: Luis Díaz 

A lot of the time this season, Mohamed Salah has carried the Liverpool attack. Against Everton on Wednesday evening, it was very much the Luis Díaz show as the Premier League leaders extended their advantage at the top to 12 points. Díaz assisted the winner. He also created the most chances at Anfield (six) and completed the most dribbles (five) to really showcase how impactful he was in the final third against the Toffees.

Attack: Mateus Fernandes 

Fernandes was the star of the show as Southampton claimed a 10th point of the season in the draw against Crystal Palace. The versatile midfielder assisted the opener for the Saints but his involvement in general was key. He completed the most dribbles (four), was the most fouled player (three), and he won nine of his 13 duels.

Attack: Omar Marmoush 

Marmoush had a total of nine shots in Man City’s 2-0 victory against Leicester City. The No.7 is filling in for Erling Haaland, spearheading Pep Guardiola’s forward line, and he did an admirable job as the main man. He finished the game with an xG total of 1.45 and also completing 100% of his attempted dribbles. The former Eintracht Frankfurt man was responsible for 50% of the team’s attempts at the Etihad, showing just how important he was to the victory.
