Riyad Mahrez was an easy choice for team-of-the-week after he scored his 17th goal of the season as Leicester moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 victory at Watford on Saturday.
Adrian’s penalty save from Romelu Lukaku for West Ham, Yaya Toure’s starring role and strike as well as Sergio Aguero’s brace merited inclusion in the team as the Premier League enters the home stretch.
