Sunday is set to be an incredible day for football fans.
Four of the biggest teams in the Premier League will do battle and we could find out an awful lot about the title race when this weekend’s round of fixtures comes to an close.
League leaders Manchester City host Arsenal at 2.15pm before, at 4.30pm, second-place Manchester United travel to Chelsea hoping to narrow the gap between themselves and their noisy neighbours.
Ahead of this weekend’s Super Sunday, Sky Sports pundit Matt Le Tissier was tasked with putting together a combined XI of players from City, United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
City dominate Le Tissier’s hypothetical side with five players, while the Southampton legend found places for four Chelsea men.
Old Trafford provides two players to Le Tissier’s team but, unfortunately for Arsenal, they’ve had a non-existent impact on the XI.
Le Tissier suggested that he was tempted to include Gunners centre-half Laurent Koscielny but decided against it and neither of Arsene Wenger’s contract rebels made the cut.
“I can’t put Alexis Sanchez in there based on his form this season and Mesut Ozil gets nowhere near my team,” Tiss said. “David Silva was the really tough one to exclude as he’s one of my favourite players to watch, but Kevin De Bruyne is the best playmaker in the league right now.”
Knowing what we know about Arsenal fans and their proclivity for dominating social media polls, there were a few complaints aimed at Le Tissier.
No Sanchez over sane is an absolute joke.

Sanchez over Sane

Not even one Arsenal player? That’s unfair to Sanchez and Ozil. At least one deserves to be in this lineup.
