Included in his dozen choices are three from Newcastle United.

This NUFC trio all playing key roles in the excellent win over Nottingham Forest.

Troy Deeney explains why he has picked out Joelinton, Dan Burn and Alexander Isak for his Premier League team of the week and then the full eleven (twelve) are listed below:

Dan Burn (Newcastle):

‘Two old-fashioned English centre-halves this week and they were both excellent and did their jobs so well. Forest’s Chris Wood has been the striker of the year so far and Burn put him to task. He did such a great job that Wood only had one touch in the Newcastle box.’

Joelinton (Newcastle United):

‘Everyone keeps forgetting that Joelinton came as a striker and game upon game, season upon season he just gets better and better as a midfielder. He’s a big, strong physical specimen who scored an excellent goal but I like the whole way he conducts himself. He gets after people, and he’s not afraid to make a tackle.’

Alexander Isak (Newcastle):

‘A first time in the team this season for Isak. He got a goal and an assist against Forest and had great link-up play. He could have scored another one in the second half as well. When Newcastle were up against it he went ‘right, watch this’. He can turn it up a level and dragged his team with him.’
