Jamie Carragher selects Prem XI of the season so far

Jamie Carragher has selected his Premier League team of the season so far and just one Man Utd player has made the cut.

The former Liverpool defender was yesterday unveiled as the Telegraph’s new football columnist and they have immediately asked him for his current fantasy Premier League XI.

Carragher selected a 4-3-3 formation with two players from his former club.

Carragher’s Prem XI

David de Gea (Manchester United)

Unfortunately I am going to have to start with a Manchester United player, who I actually think is the best keeper in the world at the moment.

Marcos Alonso (Chelsea)

I think he has been outstanding in the 12 months he has been here. He has a superb defensive record with Chelsea and he scores goals.

Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham)

Alderweireld last season was the outstanding centre-back.

Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham)

Alongside him, Belgium team-mate Vertonghen was not far behind.

Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea)

His Chelsea team play a slightly different system with three at the back, but Azpilicueta has to go in there as he is one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)

It’s a new position that he has been playing for Liverpool but he has been outstanding.

N’Golo Kante (Chelsea)

The defensive player in the middle. He has gone from Leicester City to Chelsea and been the most impressive player in both sides.

Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City)

The standout player at the start of this season. I think he is going to be a future Player of the Year contender.

Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

He has been the outstanding player in the league over the past three or four years.

Sadio Mane (Liverpool)

Last season without him Liverpool fell apart at times. He adds goals, pace, assists.

Harry Kane (Tottenham)

We are three or four years in now and I think we will be saying the same in 10 years about him being the main striker in the Premier League.
