For this first big moment of the season, we couldn’t resist putting together a combined XI of these two Premier League giants.

This time, we took injuries and players on the verge of leaving into account. So there’s no Rodri, no Timber, and no Saliba!

As for the battle between the star new signings in midfield, we hesitated a lot, but Bruno Guimaraes got the nod over Elliot Anderson.

So, what do you think of this XI? Tell us everything in the comments!
