Arsenal v Chelsea: Combined XI's

CURRENT COMBINED 11:


GK: EDUOARD MENDY - Mendy is in because he's looked really solid since he's been at Chelsea. He's looked calm and composed between the sticks and he's been the better of the two keepers from both clubs this season.


RB: CESAR AZPILICUETA - I've put Azpilicueta in at right back because he's the best right back out of both clubs by being good both defensively and offensively. His versatility makes him one of the best defenders in the Premier League.


CB: THIAGO SILVA - I've put Silva in because of how good he's been over the years and the impact he's made since he's been at Chelsea. HIs presence has made Chelsea better defensively by being a leader at the back and being a calm figure as well.


CB: ANTONIO RUDIGER - He isn't playing much at the moment, but Rudiger still makes this team because he is a good defender on his day. He times his tackles well and is well positioned in defensively when he needs to be. I'm surprised he doesn't play every week.


LB: BEN CHILWELL - Chilwell just had to be in this team because he's one of the best left backs in the Premier League by being good both defensively and going forward. He's been a good signing for Chelsea this season being solid defensively and dangerous going forward.


CDM: N'GOLO KANTE - There was no way that I was going to leave out Kante. This is because he is arguably the best defensive midfielder in the world due to what he does on the pitch in winning the ball back time and time again. His energy makes him the player he is.


CM: THOMAS PARTEY - He hasn't played a lot for Arsenal because of injury but when he has played he has looked good. He makes Arsenal's midfield look solid and if the Gunners can get him back from injury soon, they could see an upturn in results.


CM: MASON MOUNT - I've put Mount in because of how much he's improved as a player this season. He's growing as a player in midfield by picking out any kind of pass and he's also chipping in with goals like he was occasionally last season. He's growing into a key player for both club and country.


RW: HAKIM ZIYECH - Ziyech has been a good signing for Chelsea this season by creating and scoring goals. He's been a miss for them since he's bee out injured and they'll want him back soon as they look to challenge for the title.


LW: CHRISTIAN PULISIC - I've put Pulisic in because of how influential he was at the end of last season. He's been out for most of this season with injury but once he's had a run of games, he'll be the player he was last year by scoring goals and causing defenders problems with his pace.


ST: PIERRE EMERICK AUBAMEYANG - He's not having his best season by his standards, but Aubameyang is still a world class striker when he's on it. He's got a lot of pace and can score any kind of goal which is what makes him a world class striker.



ALL TIME CONBINED 11:


GK: PETR CECH - Cech had to be in because he's one of the best goalkeepers in Premier League history. He's kept more clean sheets than any other player with 202 and has won four golden gloves. He was unbeatable on his day because of the saves he made and the way he commanded his box.


RB: BRANISLAV IVANOVIC - Ivanovic was the best right back in the Premier League when at his best because he was solid defensively and loved to get forward and nick a goal. He was an important player for Chelsea throughout his time at Stamford Bridge.


CB: JOHN TERRY - The best defender in Premier League history without a doubt. Terry knew where he needed to be in defensive situations and always knew how to position himself in one v ones. HIs defensive knowhow and leadership make him one of the best defenders of his generation.


CB: TONY ADAMS - Arsenal have missed this guy since he retired because of his defensive abilities and leadership. Adams was a defender who knew how to defend by winning headers and timing his tackles well which made him the player we all know him as. His presence made Arsenal a tough team to beat.


LB: ASHLEY COLE - The best left back in Premier League history without a doubt. Cole is in this team because of good he was defensively and the kind of player he was. He was a key player for both clubs and how good he was enabled him to have the success he had at both Arsenal and Chelsea.


RM: ROBERT PIRES - I've put Pires in on the right because he scored and created goals and always caused full backs problems with his pace and deliveries into the box. He's arguably one of the most underrated players in Premier League history because of how important he was for Arsenal during his time at the club.


CM: FRANK LAMPARD - Lampard just had to be in because of the player he was and the amount of goals he scored throughout his career. He could score from anywhere on the pitch because of how powerful his shots were and could pick out any kind of pass. I was never leaving him out.


CM: PATRICK VIEIRA - Arsenal have missed this player ever since he left back in 2004. He could carry the ball forward from deep areas and win loads of crunching tackles to win the ball back for his team. His presence in midfield made Arsenal a tough team and a top side.


LM: EDEN HAZARD - On his day Hazard looked like one of the best players in the world because of how quick he was, the way he beat players and the goals he scored. This made him the player he is today because of how influential he was on the pitch for Chelsea.


ST: THIERRY HENRY - This man just had to be in the team. Hnery was a world class striker during his time at Arsenal because of the amount of goals he scored and also the kind of goals he scored. He also created lots of chances for his teammates which made him an all round striker.


ST: DIDIER DROGBA - Drogba just had to be alongside Henry because of how good he was during his time at Chelsea. He was a strong and physical centre forward who always wanted to score goals which made a him a top player. He had a great record against Arsenal during his time at Stamford Bridge.
