Alan Shearer has named Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and Josko Gvardiol in his Premier League Team of the Week, praising De Bruyne for being the best player on the pitch and Gvardiol for his impressive display including a crucial goalline clearance in their win against Nottingham Forest. Both players played key roles in helping City stay in the title race.
