Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have revealed their respective Premier League teams of the year, with Arsenal and Man City players dominating both squads.

The Premier League will bring another season to a dramatic close on Sunday with City and Arsenal taking the title race to the final day of the season, with the final relegation spot also still not secured.

The iconic Sky Sports duo previously gave their top picks for the campaign last summer and have now revealed their picks for their best Premier League XI of the season.

Former Man United star, Neville, and Liverpool legend, Carragher, put together two teams that bring together their opinion on the best players throughout the year, with no United stars included in either squad.

However, both decided on six players that make both of their teams, with a selection of Arsenal and City stars making the cut alongside one Chelsea player.

Arsenal defender William Saliba and Gabriel make up the heart of both Carragher and Neville’s defences after starring by conceding the least amount of goals in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Gunners captain Martin Odegaard partners team-mate Declan Rice and Man City’s holding midfielder Rodri in midfield.

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer – who has enjoyed a breakthrough debut campaign at Stamford Bridge – and City’s Phil Foden were the only attackers to feature in both squads. 

Neville was first to reveal his full XI and set his dream team up in a 4-3-3 formation.
