Center midfield – David Silva

Of course, the Spanish maestro needed to make this combined Liverpool & Manchester City XI. His technical ability is simply unmatched, and he doesn’t seem to be losing any with age. He has been a loyal servant to Manchester City, and he deserves every bit of praise he gets.

Center midfield – Kevin De Bruyne

It seems like Kevin De Bruyne can play in any position, which is what makes him a valuable asset to Pep Guardiola. Kevin De Bruyne often plays the killer pass which takes opposing defenders out of the equation. The Liverpool midfield must not give these two any space or time on the ball.
