EPL Team of the Week 13

Cape Town - Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson could already be penciled into the English Premiership Team of the Season after another fine display against Crystal Palace.

Sigurdsson provided yet another assist against the Eagles but was unable to inspire a winner on Saturday.

Chelsea were held by Sunderland as Diego Costa proved he was human after all. Costa was hauled off by Jose Mourinho, who feared his striker may see red. In any event, Mourinho must find an alternative after Costa picked up a one match ban for yellow card accumulation.

Manchester United eased past Hull City at home with Wayne Rooney the star of the show.  Their "noisy-neighbours" managed to score three second half goals to leap frog Southampton on the log.

Liverpool fans were given something to cheer as Glen Johnson's goal separated the Reds against Stoke City.
