Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea: The PL top six's greatest XIs according to fans

The Premier League’s ‘top six’ have all played home to a collection of legendary footballers down the years.

Some true greats of the game have played for either Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester City.

There are a significant number of top quality players at those clubs in the present day as well, particularly in Liverpool and City’s case.

But how many current footballers would make one of the six clubs’ greatest ever XIs?

Well, we’re about to find out the opinion of fans on that matter.

Using the six lists on Ranker in which supporters can upvote and downvote on the greatest players in the clubs’ history, we’ve worked out the best XI for each member of the sextet.

So, let’s take a look at the thoughts of the fans and to make things easier, all the teams line up in a 4-4-2 formation.

The XI: Ray Clemence, Jamie Carragher, Virgil van Dijk, Alan Hansen, Bob Paisley, Mohamed Salah, Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, John Barnes, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush.

A team full of legends. It’s hard to pick fault with that XI to be honest, apart from Alonso over Graeme Souness. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson will likely occupy the full-back roles in the future.

The XI: Peter Schmeichel, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Dennis Irwin, George Best, Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Bobby Charlton, Wayne Rooney.

Another superb XI. The headline is obviously the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, although Giggs is certainly worthy of the spot at left-wing. Rooney and Charlton, United’s two greatest scorers, up top was a given, wasn’t it?

The XI: Petr Cech, Cesar Azpilicueta, John Terry, Marcel Desailly, Ashley Cole, Gianfranco Zola, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, Eden Hazard, Didier
