Neil Warnock names bizarre best Premier League XI with two major Liverpool snubs

Neil Warnock has named three Liverpool players in his current best Premier League XI, but Golden Glove winner Alisson Becker misses out. The former manager's back four is made of two Reds players.

Warnock isn't afraid of upsetting a few people with his opinion and some of his selections here are controversial to say the least. The former coach admitted he missed out on signing Virgil van Dijk for just £5million when he was in charge of Crystal Palace.

Unsurprisingly, two Manchester City players made up the midfield three with an England international keeping them company in the deeper lying role of the three..

In his exclusive interview with the Mirror, Warnock decided to opt for Leicester City's Kasper Schmeichel while leaving out Golden Glove winning Brazilian duo Alisson and Ederson. Trent Alexander-Arnold was selected at right-back while Warnock decided to go with Andy Robertson's Scotland teammate Kieran Tierney.

Liverpool star Van Dijk was selected in the heart of the defence and he is partnered by Newcastle centre back Dan Burn - leaving out the likes of Joel Matip, Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte.

City star man Kevin De Bruyne was joined by teammate Bernardo Silva in the midfield trio with Declan Rice - who is attracting interest from around the Premier League - took the last spot in the middle.

In the forward three, PFA Player of the Year, Mohamed Salah, was put on the right of the front line and he was accompanied by Tottenham Hotspur duo Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
