Premier League's Best XI outside the Top Six

Nick Pope has established himself as a Premier League shotstopper.

Attack

Crystal Palace v Newcastle United - Premier League
Crystal Palace have one of the league's best wingers in this man.

Left Wing: Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace's Zaha counts as an instant danger-man for his side against any opponent. His quick-footed wing play down the left flank offers a headache to most Premier League full-backs, making him one of the league's best wingers and an obvious pick for this team.

Right Wing: Xherdan Shaqiri

Having played for two of Europe's top clubs in Bayern Munich and Inter, Stoke City's Xherdan Shaqiri has all the tools and positive experience needed to flourish in just about any side he plays for.

The 26-year-old, who has won 11 major trophies, is a born dribbler, who possesses pace, trickery and a great technical ability - a danger-man for any side he plays against.

The Swiss maestro's 7 goals and 6 assists have been his best tally in his three seasons in England's top flight, making the argument that he could still play for England's elite still plausible.

Centre Forward: Jamie Vardy

Leicester City v Sheffield United - The Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round
Foxes never quit!

Perhaps no other Leicester City player embodies those words more than Jamie Vardy. The striker's relentless nature on the pitch is an outstanding quality admired by fans and experts alike.

His dynamism, tactical discipline, and finishing ability - amongst other qualities - are must-haves in any team and earn him a place in this squad.

Add to that his 13 Premier League goals this season, which make him the highest-scoring striker outside the top six, and it is clear that Vardy is easily the best of an underrated bunch.
