Tottenham Hotspur face a tough away trip to Manchester United this evening in the Premier League, but we wanted to take a look at a potential XI if the two sides joined forces.
We have gone for a 3-5-2 formation on this occasion…
In goal, Hugo Lloris just edges out David De Gea. I would argue that Lloris has been playing his best football over the past few years, although it really is a toss-up between the two of them as they are both class keepers.
In the back three, Cristian Romero and Eric Dier walk in based on current form. There really is no argument for Harry Maguire at the moment, and I think Varane is just about edged out by the two Spurs stars.
However, I have found space for Lisandro Martinez in the LCB role as it fits his left-footed, ball-playing style perfectly.
As our deepest holding midfield, it’s hard to look past Casemiro and what he has achieved in the game with Real Madrid. Ahead of him, I have picked one from each team.
From Spurs, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg only just pips Rodrigo Bentancur, although it feels harsh to leave either one out. And from Man United, Christian Eriksen is the obvious creative choice that this team needs.
At wing-back, I have picked two from Spurs in Ivan Perisic on the left and an attacking Dejan Kulusevski on the right (seeing as Tottenham and Man United are not blessed at right-back).
Up front, of course, it’s the deadly duo of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son because any other decision would just be silly really.
What would your combined XI look like?
