A combined legends XI of these two Premier League giants.
With Manchester United and Liverpool meeting this weekend, here’s our best effort at a combined XI of these side’s best players in the Premier League era…
GK: Peter Schmeichel
Probably the best goalkeeper in Premier League history, Peter Schmeichel is an easy choice for the number one spot here.
DR: Gary Neville
Undoubtedly one of the finest right-backs of modern times, Manchester United legend Gary Neville takes this place comfortably.
DL: Denis Irwin
Another United star, Denis Irwin was a terrific servant to the Red Devils in the early Alex Ferguson era.

DC: Jamie Carragher
An underrated great of the Premier League era, Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher takes up one of the two centre-back positions.
DC: Rio Ferdinand
One of many great defenders to play for United in the Premier League era, Rio Ferdinand gets in just ahead of the likes of Nemanja Vidic, Jaap Stam and Steve Bruce.
MC: Roy Keane
Perhaps United’s best ever captain, Roy Keane was one of the best midfielders in the world for many years as he brought United no end of success.
MC: Steven Gerrard
An all-time English football great, Steven Gerrard only left Liverpool in the summer and it’ll be surreal not to see him take part in this huge fixture.
MR: Cristiano Ronaldo
One of many great United wingers, Cristiano Ronaldo may not have quite peaked at United but will go down as one of his generation’s finest players.
ML: Ryan Giggs
A breaker of several United records, Ryan Giggs is another hero of this fixture and a player who is synonymous with Premier League football.
FC: Wayne Rooney
On his way to becoming a real United legend, Wayne Rooney has been another long-serving star for the Red Devils and is deserving of a place in this line up.
FC: Robbie Fowler
At his peak, there was no one quite as good in front of goal for Liverpool as Robbie Fowler, who consistently wowed the Anfield crowd with his amazing ability.
