Vincent Kompany’s men gave their survival hopes a major boost with a comprehensive victory at Bramall Lane on Saturday.
As a result, the gap to safety now stands at just three points with four games remaining.
Following the completion of the weekend’s action, whoscored.com have now compiled their Team of the Week by including the best rated performers.
Here’s how it looks:
9. Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) - 8.65
Gakpo, who made his first Premier League start since early March at Craven Cottage on Sunday, earns a place in our best XI having provided the assist for Diogo Jota’s 72nd-minute finish. Gakpo also managed four shots on goal himself, as well as two key passes and three successful dribbles. Photo: Julian Finney
