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)
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)
