Chelsea's Diego Costa and Liverpool's Alberto Moreno join three Stoke stars and two from Swansea in our latest Premier League Team of the Week.
Check out TEAMtalk's Team of the Week and then let us know your top XI using the story comment facility at the bottom of the article.
TEAMtalk's Top Men (4-2-3-1): Green, Bardsley, Shawcross, Shackell, Moreno; Sterling, Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson, Dyer; Crouch, Costa.
Robert Green - QPR
It was Charlie Austin's goal that ultimately earned QPR their first win back in the Premier League against Sunderland on Saturday, but Harry Redknapp's men could easily have gone into the international break still pointless were it not for Green, who made a series of excellent saves.
Phil Bardsley - Stoke City
Unsurprisingly, Stoke's entire team was outstanding defensively in their shock 1-0 win at Manchester City.
Bardsley still managed to stand out, however, with an incredibly energetic display up and down the right flank at the Etihad. Keeping David Silva quiet is no mean feat but Bardsley helped make sure the Spaniard never had any space to operate in.
Ryan Shawcross - Stoke City
Coming a few days after he was left out of the latest England squad - and on the same weekend that saw Phil Jagielka's Everton and Gary Cahill's Chelsea involved in a nine-goal game - Shawcross' performance at Manchester City has led to plenty of people questioning Roy Hodgson's thinking.
The Stoke skipper was sensational at the Etihad, organising his troops to brilliant effect to restrict the champions to very few opportunities. When they did get a sight of goal, Shawcross was usually first on the scene to avert danger.
Jason Shackell - Burnley
There is no doubting that Manchester United have not clicked into gear under Louis van Gaal but with Angel Di Maria added to the team for Saturday's trip to Burnley, there is equally little doubt that the Clarets did a magnificent job in keeping them at bay.
No-one played a bigger role in ensuring that than Shackell, who was utterly imperious in the air.
Alberto Moreno - Liverpool
Left-back was a problem position for Liverpool last season but, judging by Moreno's performance at Tottenham on Sunday, it won't be one this season.
The Spaniard impressed defensively - shocked even - but it was his driving run and superb finish for the Reds' third goal that really stood out. Brendan Rodgers has clearly added yet another attacking threat to his side.
Raheem Sterling - Liverpool
One attacking threat that needs no introduction is Sterling, who is quickly developing into one of the Premier League's finest attacking players.
He scored Liverpool's opener at White Hart Lane, should have bagged another later on after a brilliant dribble and was a constant threat to the Spurs defence throughout with his direct running.
Morgan Schneiderlin - Southampton
Southampton have lost a number of good players over the summer but arguably none better than Schneiderlin, who was their conductor-in-chief even before the exits of Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw and co.
The Frenchman dominated both defensively and offensively at West Ham on Saturday and fully merited the two goals that helped Saints to a 3-1 win.
Gylfi Sigurdsson - Swansea City
After just three games back at Swansea, Sigurdsson has set up as many goals (four) as he managed in 58 appearances for Tottenham.
Exactly why he failed to consistently hit top form for Spurs is open to debate, but he certainly doesn't struggle to do so for Swansea and was again exceptional in their 3-0 win at West Brom.
Nathan Dyer - Swansea City
It was Dyer that benefited from Sigurdsson's assist against the Baggies to put his side 1-0 up, and the same player that latched on to a flick-on from the Icelander to make it 3-0 in the second half.
His pace makes him a handful for any Premier League defence - and for West Brom's he was simply unplayable.
Peter Crouch - Stoke City
Strikers are generally judged on the amount of goals they score, but Crouch did so much good work outside of the box in Stoke's win at Manchester City that he had to be included in our XI.
He made an incredible eight headed clearances out of his own box but his ability to hold the ball up at the other end proved equally as crucial on the day for Stoke, who were able to counter-attack effectively as a result.
He may not be renowned for his mobility, but Crouch covered more ground than any other player on the pitch - missing a header to put his side 2-0 ahead was the only blot on his copybook.
Diego Costa - Chelsea
It may seem strange to include only one Chelsea player in our team after they scored six at Everton, but they were so poor defensively that nobody in defence or midfield will have left Goodison without angry words from Jose Mourinho.
Costa, however, again showed why the Portuguese coach paid big money to sign him over the summer, scoring two goals of the highest quality in the first and last minutes.
