IT’S back. With the Championship and Premier League having now resumed, we thought it was high time to give The Yorkshire Post’s Team of the Week another outing.

A good weekend for Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds United and Middlesbrough, for sure. Here’s our line-up in a 3-5-2 formation.

Goalkeeper

Made a majestic first-half save to deny Nathan Baker and produced an accomplished, commanding display at Ashton Gate on a stand-out Sunday lunch-time for the Owls.

Defence

Ben White (Leeds United)

Was not put off by a blatant elbow from Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic and was cool and unflappable throughout - just as he has been for the vast majority of a seamless season.

Dominic Iorfa (Sheffield Wednesday)

Imperious at the back and continued his generally excellent campaign. Stood tall throughout against Bristol City.

Mads Andersen (Barnsley)

The Dane’s mini-renaissance continued with a sound and disciplined performance against Millwall. Good to see.

Midfield

Djed Spence (Middlesbrough)

Took his chances with both hands after being recalled by Neil Warnock and showed drive and energy going forward and diligence in his defensive duties.
