The Team of Matchday 6 of the 2021/22 Premier League Season

It's fair to say that Matchday 6 of the 2021/22 Premier League season lived up to expectations, as Arsenal demolished an incoherent Tottenham side, Brighton snatched a late draw in Selhurst Park in the M23 Derby via a goal from Neal Maupay, continuing to defy expectations and sit pretty in the top six. Norwich City continues to sink further and further into the relegation zone, and with 16 straight league defeats, the excuses are running out for Daniel Farke.

Brentford have emerged as one of the pleasant surprises of the early weeks of the Premier League campaign, putting Liverpool under pressure with a daring and attack-minded game plan and taking a 3-3 draw, whilst Wolves defeated Southampton via a superb individual goal from Raúl Jiménez. Manchester City thoroughly dominated Chelsea in a rematch of the Champions League Final with a 1-0 win -- a scoreline that flattered Chelsea -- with Pep Guardiola's side putting in arguably the finest defensive performance since the Catalan took charge of the Citizens.

Warning: this team of the week contains: a center back who scored his first Premier League goal in his first shot, a goalkeeper who's equally capable of stopping surefire goals as he is providing them with pinpoint passes, and a striker who, after a lengthy spell on the sidelines, has reminded us why he is one of the deadliest strikers in England when he has his confidence back. We will set up the team in a 5-3-2.

The six saves and the nearly 0.6 post-shot xG prevented by José Sá can only be eclipsed by the Portuguese goalkeeper's world-class assist to Raúl Jiménez, with the Olympiakos man booting it long and providing the assist for the sole goal of the game. More than anything, Sá transmitted the sensation of dominating every single of the shots he faced against the likes of Che Adams and Adam Armstrong.
