Right Winger: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

What more is there to say? Salah has proved himself time and time again out on the pitch for Liverpool, and he's showcased exactly why he's been regarded as one of the best in the league for some time now. He poses such a threat to the opposition that it would be laughable not to include him in this position.

Striker: Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)

Rashford has got 9 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League this season. He is a constant threat in front of goal, able to unleash a powerful shot at any moment - and you know that once it's left his boot, it's going to most likely be on target, so 'keepers must be aware. Another contender for this spot would have been Roberto Firmino, but I think the ability that Rashford has slightly outweighs that of Firmino. Rashford's versatility is what makes him key in teams like this.

Left Winger: Sadio Mane (Liverpool)

Sadio Mane's rapid acceleration and agility are what gives him the edge over any United player who could've taken this position. Mane's speed is virtually unmatched in the Premier League, and he wreaks havoc for full-backs on the flanks. Add to that his ability to cut inside and shoot, and you have a real danger on your hands.
