Vincent Kompany is one of the big name omissions from a combined Liverpool and Manchester City XI based on statistics this season.
The two clubs will meet in the League Cup final on Sunday, with Jurgen Klopp hoping to win the first trophy of his tenure - and the Reds' first since Kenny Dalglish was in charge - and Manuel Pellegrini hoping to make his final season at the Etihad a successful one.
Fantasy Football game Oulala have crunched the numbers and found which players have been, statisically speaking, performing the best this season.
The stats are all based on Premier League appearances.
City skipper Kompany surprisingly misses out - given his importance to the side it is clear that the Belgian's influence extends far beyond just the numbers.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is another player to not make the side, along with Yaya Toure who, in truth, has had a poor season.
Oulala's stats team took a look at two players in each position and analysed a host of key areas to determine who made the grade to feature in the combined Liverpool and Manchester stat-based best XI.
See who makes the XI and why below...
