English Premier League Team of the Week © EuroFootball.com

In the English Premier League team of the 8th round, there are even four players from "Portsmouth" and two representatives from "Man Utd".

The symbolic team would be guarded by former England national team and "Portsmouth" main goalkeeper David James, who saved his team from the attacks of "West Ham" several times.

Another "Portsmouth" right-back defender Glen Johnson would be in the defense line, after whose pass Nwankwo Kanu defeated the "hammers" goalkeeper Roy Carroll. On the other side, "Aston Villa" defender Gareth Barry, who scored a beautiful goal against "Tottenham", would play. In the middle, the defender of the "Reading" team Ibrahim Sonko would play, supported by the powerful "Pompey" defensive pillar Sol Campbell.

In the midfield, the right flank would be occupied by El Hadji Diouf, who brought victory to "Bolton", and on the left side, the creator of "Arsenal" attacks Tomas Rosicky would play. In the middle, there would be another "Portsmouth" midfielder Manuel Fernandes.

Threatening the opponents' goal would be the most efficient player of "Blackburn" Benni McCarthy, the English wonderkid Wayne Rooney returning to form after a long break, and another "Man Utd" forward Louis Saha.
