Now starts the hard parts of this combined eleven. If you have watched both teams this season, you’ll realize how hard it is to pick this midfield with the likes of Pogba, Henderson, Matic, Herrera, Wijnaldum, Keita, Milner and even Fabinho contesting for starting for a place.

Starting with the defensive midfield role, the one that will be charged with protecting the back four and passing the ball from deep. The role goes to none other than Fabinho. It initially took him time to settle in the league but he has started to show his talent. So much so that he has even played centre-back and right back as well as his defensive midfield role.

The other two positions will be occupied by Paul Pogba and Georginio Wijnaldum. These two have lots of energy and can get up and down the pitch with ease. And with Wijnaldum in that midfield, it will allow for Paul Pogba to attack as he has been doing so well under Ole Gunnar. They can also provide goals and assists from deep and the forward line won’t be short of service.
