Central midfielder: Fabinho (Liverpool)
Fabinho has been more of a utility man for Liverpool this season, operating from several positions, including centre-back. He has been put as a central midfielder in this hypothetical XI because that's where the Brazilian has shone the brightest for Liverpool this campaign.
His crucial interceptions, power on the ball and excellent vision have bailed Liverpool multiple times. Fabinho will be required to produce more of the same against Manchester United, as a win would bolster Liverpool's flagging hopes of Champions League qualification next season.
Central Midfielder: Paul Pogba (Manchester United)
Joining Fabinho at the centre of the park in this hypothetical XI is Paul Pogba, who has been used in a more withdrawn role by Ole Gunnar Solksjaer this season. Nevertheless, the Frenchman has performed much better in a Manchester United midfield beset by inconsistent displays from Fred and Scott McTominay.
Especially since the turn of the new year, Paul Pogba has shown signs of his old self. He has returned from a recent hamstring injury by producing assists in three consecutive games. Pogba was also on target against AS Roma in the Europa League semi-final in midweek too.
