SHOOT’s Chelsea-Liverpool combined XI

Midfielder: James Milner (Liverpool)

Into midfield, and our engine is the masterful James Milner.

The former England star edges out Liverpool team mate Naby Keita to this starting role, having impressed with his box-to-box prowess this campaign for the Premier League leaders.

The 32-year-old, whose absence from the England is still missed given his work rate, energy, passion and commitment, has captained The Reds on four league occasions this season, and he scored against Crystal Palace last month.
