Fulham's Nigeria-eligible center back Tosin Adarabioyo has been named in the latest English Premier League Team of the Week by football statistics website Whoscored.com.

The Manchester City academy product was impressive as the Cottagers earned a 1-0 victory against the champions Liverpool on Sunday, March 7.

The Team of the Week is surprisingly dominated by relegation candidates West Brom who have contributed three players to the starting lineup, namely goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, left-back Conor Townsend and center back Kyle Bartley.

Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tosin have been deployed in the right-back and center back roles respectively.

Also selected are Tottenham Hotspur duo Harry Kane and Gareth Bale, Chelsea duo Jorginho and Alonso, Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke and Fulham's match-winner against Liverpool, Mario Lemina.

Tosin made 18 clearances in Fulham's 1-0 win away to Liverpool on Sunday, a record in a Premier League match this season and finished with one tackle, one interception and one blocked shot, won two aerial duels and was accurate in 88.7 percent of his passes.
