Goalkeeper – Ederson

Ederson was bought by Pep Guardiola in the summer, and what a signing he has turned out to be. As we have seen in many examples, it’s important to have a top quality goalkeeper if you want to win the big titles, and Ederson only proves this point.

Right back – Kyle Walker

Kyle Walker is another new addition for Manchester City, and he has been another impressive signing. His blistering speed and willingness to get forward will cause the opposing defense problems. Having learnt under Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino, he is guaranteed in this combined Liverpool & Manchester City XI.

Left back – Andrew Robertson

Jurgen Klopp has uncovered a gem in Andrew Robertson. Arriving from Hull City, he had no pressure to perform, which is why his performances for Liverpool have impressed many. Manchester City will be fully aware of his work ethic as well as his defensive solidity. He could cause many problems in this match.
