Capital Challenge - pick your London v Manchester XI
Laying awake, worrying about how many goals we might ship against City, I got to wondering about Capital teams. If you could pick a team of current Premier League players from both Manchester teams and pit them against a team made up of current Premier League players from the London Clubs 1) Who would you pick and 2) who would win. I have a feeling the Mancs might win comfortably. Now I don’t feel so bad about this afternoon’s result ;weep

I'd be wondering if any of Man Us first XI displace a Man City 1st XI player. I suppose it would depend on the formation you wanted to play.
Maybe de Gea in goal ....
Arugably fernandinho could be swapped for matic or Pogba
London XI a little trickier
Courtois
Azpilicueta - Alderweirald - Vertongen
Trippier - Eriksen - Kante - Alonso
Hazard
Kane - Morata
Little bit of a shoe horned formation espeically in midfield with eriksen at CM but think kante can do the defensive work for 2 people
Couldnt see where an arsenal player can go as Sanchez has been poor this season and there are better people in the repsective positions of Lacazette, ozil, kolasinic etc
London XI:
Courtois
Azpilicueta, Alderweirald, Luiz, Kolasinac
Sanchez, Kante, Fabregas, Hazard
Kane, Morata
Manc XI
De Gea,
Walker, Kompany, Stones, Mendy
De Bruyne, Pogba, Matic, D.Silva
Aguero, Jesus
Something like that off the top of my head

You should sue!
