Find out who made Sky Sports' latest Premier League XI following the weekend's games.
Team of the Week
John Ruddy - Norwich City
Ruddy has re-established himself as Norwich's number one following a frustrating time with injuries in 2012/13. His efforts at the start of the current campaign have also seen him drafted back into the England set-up for a crucial 2014 World Cup qualifying double-header against Moldova and Ukraine, and few would question his selection by Roy Hodgson. Ruddy underlined his status as one of the finest shot-stoppers in the business on Saturday as he helped Norwich to their first victory of the season. A collection of smart saves helped to keep Southampton at bay, while Ruddy commanded his penalty area throughout as the Canaries collected a welcome clean sheet in a 1-0 win.
Pablo Zabaleta - Manchester City
Mr Dependable on the right of Manchester City's back four, Zabaleta remains a model of consistency and a man fully deserving of the four-year contract handed to him at the Etihad Stadium over the summer. It is difficult to see how Micah Richards will be able to dislodge Zabaleta from the right-back berth, providing the Argentine steers clear of injury. He put in another thoroughly professional display against Hull City over the weekend - a contest where he figured prominently at both ends of the field. Zabaleta helped to shut out Steve Bruce's Premier League new boys and provided the cross for Alvaro Negredo to open the scoring in a 2-0 success.
Danny Gabbidon - Crystal Palace
If Crystal Palace are to steer clear of trouble during their first season back in the big time, they will need their defensive unit to provide the most solid of foundations. They boast plenty of experience in centre-back pairing Gabbidon and Damien Delaney, while Adrian Mariappa has been drafted in from Reading to help carry the load. Gabbidon should expect to be a virtual ever-present throughout the campaign, and underlined his importance with his first Premier League goal in a 3-1 victory over Sunderland. The Welshman knew little about his early effort, but was a rock at the back as he put his body on the line for the good of the collective cause - making 19 clearances and three blocks.
Laurent Koscielny - Arsenal
Still sporting a sizeable plaster over a nasty head wound suffered while on UEFA Champions League duty, Koscielny threw himself back into battle on Super Sunday as Arsenal entertained arch-rivals Tottenham. Derby dates require on-field leaders to step up to the plate, and Koscielny is becoming a key figure at Emirates Stadium. He left nothing out on the field against Spurs, with his physical approach helping to keep Roberto Soldado quiet and Andre Villas-Boas' side at arm's length. The Frenchman can overstep the mark at times, but he struck the right balance between nasty and nice over the weekend to help the Gunners to a first clean sheet of the new Premier League season.
Glen Johnson - Liverpool
With Zabaleta occupying the right-back berth in our weekly selection, Johnson - as he has done at times during his Liverpool career - slips in on the left. He may have operated on the opposite flank against Manchester United on Sunday, but his showing at Anfield is deserving of recognition in this XI and his versatility has become a useful weapon in his arsenal. Liverpool, despite claiming a third successive 1-0 victory, were far from their free-flowing best against United, but did enough to get over the line
