Troy Deeney includes Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku in team of the week
Ex-Watford striker Troy Deeney has named his Premier League team of the week and two Man City players have been included.
Doku is an obvious choice after another jawdropping performance, while Haaland made the cut due to his two goal contributions.
Speaking about Doku, Deeney told BBC Sport: “What a month he’s had. He hadn’t scored a goal since November and then he’s got four in the last month.
“He’s flying and Manchester City are trying to put a bit of pressure on but it doesn’t feel like they’ll have enough in the tank.”
Turning his attention to Haaland, the retired forward added: “Goal and an assist so that’s why he is the man there.”
