Premier League Team of the Week 13

Scandalous, sensational and superb. Just the way to describe our Premier League Team of the Week 13.

Kelvin Leong is bedazzled by an Ivory Coast hitman who showed the world why he is regarded as one of the best in the business and also a certain Chelsea captain who has found strength from within to play through a difficult time.

Brad Friedel - Aston Villa

Most people consider Edwin van Der Sar and Petr Cech as the outstanding goalkeepers in the English top flight but the giant American stopper has been around for a good decade and is still up to the mark. He made numerous saves to keep Tottenham at bay on Saturday night.

Danny Fox - Burnley

The Celtic-boy only joined Burnley a few days ago in the January transfer window and he came up with a barnstorming display at left-back. He provided a great ball for David Nugent to score before lobbing home a wonderfully taken free-kick in the 55th minute. Nice!

John Terry - Chelsea

With all the attention focused on his personal life, JT has been a towering presence on the pitch to lead his club back to the summit with a late goal against Burnley while also shutting out the likes of Andrey Arshavin and Cesc Fabregas on Sunday. 'Go Team Terry' as the Chelsea fans say.

Ledley King - Tottenham

When King plays, Spurs are watertight at the back. He commanded his back four well while also providing options in attack when he ventured forward in set-piece situations. If only his injury-prone knee can be cured, King would be an ideal replacement for Rio Ferdinand or Terry in Fabio Capello's squad.

Gary Neville - Manchester United

Finally, we see Neville back where he belongs, playing football rather than pointing fingers at people. With critics constantly slaying the United captain for his loss of pace, Neville produced one of his best performances for the Red Devils this season as he rampaged down the right flank and sent in cross after cross to trouble the Pompey defence throughout the match.

George Boateng - Hull

The veteran midfielder came up with a spectacular volley to give Phil Brown's side maximum points against Roberto Man City. His crunching tackles and vocal leadership skills were evidently on show and for a man his age, Boateng still packs a punch.

Michael Carrick - Manchester United

Carrick seemed to have lost his way a little in the first half of the season but over the last few games, the England midfielder is back to his best, bossing the middle of the park and unleashing some of his trademark cross-field passes that make life hell for defenders. A thunderous left-foot stinger from him was deflected past a helpless David James to cap a wonderful performance.

Mathew Etherington - Stoke City

The former Spurs winger seems to have found a new lease of life this season under Tony Pulis at Stoke. His mesmerizing dribbles caused panic in the Blackburn defence and his goal highlighted his confidence to shoot on sight. Something that was missing for most part of his career.

Dirk Kuyt - Liverpool

While the likes of Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard constantly hog the limelight at Anfield, it is a certain Dutchman who has been soldiering on like a true warrior in the Reds jersey. Kuyt's goal was the difference in one of the most physical Merseyside derbies in living memory.

Kevin Phillips - Birmingham

Alex McLeish brought on the former Sunderland striker and he repaid his manager's faith with two excellent goals to ensure Birmingham continue their surge up the table. If Phillips continues smash in the goals, who is to say Birmingham won't make it to Europe?

Didier Drogba - Chelsea

He came, he saw, he conquered. Enough said. The Ivory Coast hitman had a poor African Cup of Nations tournament but has come back to life since returning to Stamford Bridge. His first goal was instinctive while his second was a showcase of his strength and quick-thinking. 12 goals in 12 games against Arsenal. He loves gunning them down doesn't he?
