Midfield
Ross Barkley – Everton
Having only recently broke into the Everton first team, he has already won international recognition and caused more buzz than a beehive. Set for a very bright future in the game if he is able to live up to his early promise.
Steven Gerrard – Liverpool
The best all-rounder on the pitch and, like Howard in goal, is still going strong despite his advancing years. Would still walk into any team in the Premier League and would be the skipper of this combined XI too (just in case you were wondering).
Philippe Coutinho – Liverpool
Mostly used through the centre, the diminutive Brazilian would add some pace and trickery to this XI to get forward and poke holes in opposition defences. Took to life in the rough and tumble Premier League very well and will only get better as he continues to adapt.
