Gameweek three of the 2026/27 Premier League season is now behind us. Hull City continued their unlikely unbeaten start to the season, while Arsenal overcame Chelsea in a heavyweight clash at the Emirates Stadium.

Meanwhile, the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are all still winless. Who made it into our most recent team of the week?

GK: Zion Suzuki

Losing Emi Martinez was a bitter blow for Aston Villa, but they’ve found themselves an excellent replacement in the form of Zion Suzuki. Making four saves and keeping a clean sheet, his distribution was likewise excellent throughout.

RB: Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Are we including Ainsley Maitland-Niles purely on account of his late equaliser against Manchester United? Yes. Was it also potentially the goal of the season just three weeks into the campaign? That’s also a yes. Check it out if you haven’t seen it.

CB: Luka Vuskovic

Luka Vuskovic has been a brilliant signing for Brighton. Still only 19 years of age, he operates with all the nous of a grizzled veteran. He got his name on the scoresheet on Saturday afternoon as the Seagulls drew 1-1 at home with Leeds United.

CB: Bobby Thomas

Coventry City lost again at the weekend, but they can take some comfort in the fantastic display put forth by Bobby Thomas against Manchester City. He managed to keep their attacking ranks quiet for the most part, allowing them to score just a single goal against the odds.
