The international break has ended, and the focus in many parts of the globe returns to Premier League action. Talented footballers from around the league featured for their countries during the past week and will be eager to continue with their club sides.

With Matchweek 8 ahead of us this weekend, we take a look at the players who have made the greatest impact thus far in our Premier League Best XI.

9CB – Toby Alderweireld – Tottenham

Toby Alderweireld – Tottenham Spurs

Centre-back Toby Alderweireld has anchored an impressive Tottenham defence, as Spurs have allowed the fewest goals in the league (3) thus far.

The Belgian defender has made 45 clearances and has aided greatly in keeping an organised backline in front of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Alderweireld’s size and strength is an essential component of what Mauricio Pochettino wants to see from his squad moving forward as they continue their unbeaten start to the season.
