DC: Martin Skrtel (Liverpool)
A very capable centre-back, Martin Skrtel has been a good servant to Liverpool and is a big-game player who just edges into this combined XI.
DC: John Stones (Everton)
One of the top young players in the country, Everton starlet John Stones also makes it into defence, having become one of the Toffees’ most key players since breaking into the first-team in 2013/14.
MC: Emre Can (Liverpool)
Another superb young player, Emre Can gets in ahead of Jordan Henderson, another long-term absentee through injury so far this season.
MC: James McCarthy (Everton)
A fine player box-to-box, James McCarthy is one of many Everton stars to be linked with bigger clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
