The upcoming clash between Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League title race has sparked the need for a combined XI. Injuries have ruled out players like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson, narrowing down the selection pool.

In goal, Ederson from Manchester City takes the spot, with the debate between Alisson and Ederson losing its spark due to other circumstances. The backline sees Kyle Walker from City at right-back, filling in for the injured Liverpool player, while Ruben Dias, a standout defender, partners with Virgil van Dijk at centre-back. Andy Robertson from Liverpool holds the left-back position, forming a solid defensive unit.

Moving to midfield, Rodri is the chosen defensive midfielder, boasting an impressive unbeaten streak of 60 competitive matches. The midfield is completed by Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City, with De Bruyne being arguably the greatest midfielder in Premier League history.

The attacking trio consists of Mohamed Salah from Liverpool on the right wing, Phil Foden from City on the left, and Erling Haaland leading the line. Foden, although slightly out of position, has been in top form this season, scoring consistently in the Premier League.

The combined XI reflects the best players from both Liverpool and Manchester City, showcasing talent and skill across all areas of the pitch. As the two teams prepare to face off, the anticipation for this high-stakes match continues to build.
