Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville release their teams of the season!

Chelsea players heavily dominate Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher’s teams of the year so far

The Sky Sports pundits have handed out their famous mid-season awards.

“I’ve gone for Costa, I think he’s been outstanding,” Carragher said. “He’s top goalscorer in the league and I think he makes a massive difference, when he’s on song you think he’s really going to take some stopping.”

And Neville speaking about Chelsea Football Club boss Antonio Conte: “If you think about the imprint of managers on teams, Conte has this team drilled as a replica of his Juventus team in three/four months and that’s tough to do.

“He has had the blessing of not being in Europe and he has the training ground time with the team day-in day-out, you can see the shape they’re working on is just there all the time.”

“I was critical of him (Pogba) early on in the season but I think now they’ve found the right fit for him. He’s starting to look the real deal.”
