Troy Deeney didn’t select a single Arsenal player in his BBC Team of the Week, and WhoScored only included one Gunner in their team – Jurrien Timber . WhoScored’s stats-based side handed Timber a 7.31 rating, which was enough to get him in at right-back. The defender’s three chances created and two dribbles completed (from two attempts) likely aided his cause. But amusingly, WhoScored also included two Hull players in their team, with Konstantinos Tzolakis and Semi Ajayi both making the cut. WhoScored’s Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 10 of 2026/27 In fairness, both of the Hull players probably earned their spots in the team. Starting with Tzolakis, the goalkeeper made nine saves against Arsenal, which is the most by any keeper in a Premier League match this season. Even Arsenal’s winning goal only came on the rebound from an initial Tzolakis save. Then former Arsenal academy youngster Ajayi put in an excellent defensive performance that got Hull to the 69th minute at 0-0. The centre-back won all but one of his eight individual duels before he was forced off with an injury, and Arsenal took the lead shortly afterwards.

Of course, the fans will be hoping the next game has multiple Arsenal players in the Team of the Week after a scintillating performance. But it can’t be like that every week, and the three points are what matter.
