Combined Xl: Chelsea vs Liverpool

Combined starting XI of Chelsea and Liverpool as they face each other Saturday

The Special One picks his wits against The Normal One this weekend. 

With both squads having an abundance of quality in their ranks, it was very tough to get the team down to 11, but in this article you can see who makes our starting XI.

GK: Simon Mignolet (Liverpool)

Mignolet has a solid opening to the season and is a guaranteed pick in our team. The former Sunderland keeper has kept 4 clean sheets so far this season and is only going to get better as Klopp galvanises the squad.

RB: Nathaniel Clyne (Liverpool)

Clyne has continued his blistering form since moving from Southampton last summer. The Englishman was a certainty in our squad.

CB: John Terry (Chelsea)

He may of had a tough start to the season being dropped but there is no one better than John Terry in our opinion. His big game knowledge is crucial if Chelsea are to win this fixture.

CB: Gary Cahill (Chelsea)

Gary Cahill beats Loverign to a start place in our team. The Englishman is more consistent and powerful than his counterpart.

LB: Baba Rahman (Chelsea)

The Ghanaian left back has been impressive since arriving in the summer. He has helped Chelsea to keep 2 clean sheets in his 6 appearances.

 RM: Willian (Chelsea)

The Brazilian has had a good start overshadowed by the management problems. Willian has scored 4 goals and will cause Liverpool all sorts of problems with his pace.

CM: Philippe Coutinho  (Liverpool)

Another Brazilan this time in the form of Coutinho, the midfielder has been in great form again this season and is attracting interest from the top teams in europe.

CM: Nemanja Matic (Chelsea)

Matic earns the last Central Midfield spot in our team. The midfielder provides crucial cover to his defence and allows the attacking players to push forward.

LM: Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

The Belgium has had a slow start to the season but on his day Hazard can be world class and for that reason the winger has to be added to our team.

ST: Diego Costa (Chelsea)

Like him or Loathe him Costa is worthy of a start in any team. The Spaniard is slow off the mark this season and will be looking to kick start his season at the weekend.

ST: Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)

The injury plagued striker is one of the best finishers in the league on his day. Should he be fit he is always like to score.

So there is are combined starting XI for the game.
