Goal.com UK Premier League Team of the Week: Rooney, Bent and Zamora form an all-English attack

What a fantastic weekend it proved to be for both sections of Manchester. United‘s Wayne Rooney-inspired revival secured a seven-point gap at the summit of the Premier League, while City‘s demolition of Sunderland propelled Roberto Mancini‘s side into third.

Arsenal’s woes continued as their third consecutive league draw, this time against Steve Kean’s struggling Blackburn, left Arsene Wenger suggesting his men need to set their sights on resurrecting their form, as opposed to lifting any silverware this term.

Carlo Ancelotti conceded his side’s title hunt was well and truly over after Chelsea were held by Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.

Liverpool’s aspirations of a late Champions League surge were dented by former boss Roy Hodgson as West Brom ran out 2-1 winners at The Hawthorns.

Both Bolton and Everton’s Europa League quest hit stony ground after Owen Coyle’s men slumped to a 2-1 defeat at Birmingham City, while David Moyes’ charges could only muster a 2-2 draw at home to Aston Villa.

A point for Wigan against Spurs has kept Roberto Martinez’s side in reach of survival, while fellow relegation candidates Wolves and Blackpool both lost on the road this weekend.

So after a promising weekend for some and a gloomy set of results for others, Goal.com UK brings you our picks to fit into our weekly elite XI.

TOTW FORMATION: 3-4-3
