Phil Babb has named a controversial Liverpool and Manchester United combined XI
Former Liverpool defender Phil Babb has made some rogue choices in a combined XI of Liverpool and Manchester United players ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash.
Speaking on Sky Sports News, the 46-year-old showed little faith in Liverpool’s defence and opted for three United defenders – including Chris Smalling who’s only featured twice so far this season.
Andrew Robertson is preferred at left-back over Alberto Moreno, Daley Blind, Luke Shaw and Matteo Darmian, while there is no space for Reds captain Jordan Henderson.
Elsewhere, Babb has gone for a very attacking midfield but omitted Old Trafford star Paul Pogba, with the Frenchman left out of an adventurous diamond formation.
Roberto Firmino is also missing, so just who does make the cut in this outrageous side?
