Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool lie first and second in the Premier League and, after impressive Matchweek 9 wins, it is their players who dominate Alan Shearer's Team of the Week.
Injuries meant that James Milner was called into a makeshift defence for the champions, but the 34-year-old proved his great versatility by slotting in seamlessly at right-back, before switching to midfield.
Shearer, the Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer, was impressed with Milner, who forced Jonny Evans' goal and registered an assist for Roberto Firmino with two corner kicks in their 3-0 win over Leicester City.
