Premier League Team of the Week Round 28 (2024-25 after Man United v Arsenal)

Here is a look at the Premier League’s TOTW for Week 28 of the 24/25 season from the BBC and Alan Shearer. The round saw another blow to Arsenal’s title chances after they could only draw away at struggling Man United, while Liverpool continued to move ahead after beating Southampton.

However both the Gunners and the Red Devils find a spot in the BBC’s official team of the week, with Declan Rice and Bruno Fernandes representing their respective teams.

BBC Team of the Week GW28 March 2025

Henderson (Palace)
Aina & Murillo (Forest), Mings (Villa), Kerkez (Bournemouth)
Rice (Arsenal), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle)
Salah (Liverpool), Bruno Fernandes (Man United), Sarr (Palace)
Watkins (Aston Villa)

Premier League Team of the Week Round 28 2024-2025

Palace, Villa and Forest all have two representatives in the BBC’s Team of the Round for MD28, with Bournemouth, Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool and Man United having one representative each.

Aston Villa and Newcastle were also the only away teams to win in GW28.

Shearer Team of the Week Round 28 (2024-25 PL season)

Shearer’s team has 4 representatives from Forest, who will be playing Ipswich in the next round.

There’s a fair bit of similarity between Shearer and Deeney’s TOTW, especially in the backs and in midfield. The two Teams of the Week have SEVEN players in common (see below), but primarily differ in their choice of goalkeeper, centre-back, winger and centre-forward.

Sels (Forest)
Aina and Murillo (Forest), Disasi (Villa), Kerkez (Bournemouth)
Rice (Arsenal), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle)
Hudson Odoi (Forest), Bruno Fernandes (Man United), Salah (Liverpool)
Nunez (Liverpool)

Referee announced for Chelsea vs Crystal Palace- Same one who was in charge of epic 4-3 game v Man Utd

The referee for Chelsea’s weekend clash against Crystal Palace has been officially announced as Jarred Gillett. The 37-year-old Australian was in charge of Arsenal’s 2-0 opening day win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, and was also the man in the middle for the Community Shield clash between Man Utd and Man City earlier this month- a fixture the Citizens won on penalties.

Blues fans will remember him as the ref for their epic league clash against Manchester United last season- a seven goal thriller that the hosts won after Cole Palmer scored in the 100th and 101st minutes.

Chelsea have a pretty decent record under Gillett as referee- they’ve lost only once in 7 games with him in charge.
