RB: Antonio Valencia (Ecuador)
United's Ecuadorian winger-turned-right back is possibly one of the best in the Premier League at the moment.
Under Louis van Gaal, injuries forced him to play as a fullback, and despite early criticism, he managed to make the position his own. His playing style as a traditional winger, who rarely cuts in to shoot, certainly made the transition easier.
He's vastly improved his defensive attributes under Mourinho. The Portuguese boss even refrained from signing a new right-back this summer even though Valencia is now 32 years old.
His incredible goal against Everton earlier this season proved that he's not bad at shooting either. His incredible physicality, pace and crossing make him a nightmare for both wingers and fullbacks.
There aren't many Ecuadorians in the league right now, and that makes this a very easy decision to make.
CB: David Luiz (Brazil)
David Luiz has got a lot of stick from fans in his career, but the fact that a manager like Conte, who places a lot of emphasis in defensive discipline, places his trust in him says something about his abilities.
His stats so far this season have been pretty impressive, with 35 clearances, 23 interceptions, and an 86% passing accuracy.
Luiz is strong in the air and can also play the ball out from the back. He was named in the PFA Team of the Year after Chelsea's successful title-winning campaign last year.
If you could just ignore his occasional mistake, you have a pretty good centre-back on your hands.
CB: Nicolas Otamendi (Argentina)
Otamendi joined City in the summer of 2015 for a hefty fee of £28.5 million. He's been very shaky in defence for the most part, even though he's almost always been the first choice, but this season has been different
He's played every league match so far with an impressive 92% pass accuracy and even has a couple of goals to his name. His tackle success rate of 79% is also pretty solid.
He's finally begun to win the trust of both Guardiola and the fans, and based on current form, he's one of the best centre-backs in the league right now.
Choosing him means no Sergio Aguero up front, but thankfully, there are no lack of options when it comes to strikers in the Premier League.
LB: Ben Davies (Wales)
Davies might have played second fiddle to Danny Rose for most of his Spurs career, but an injury to the Englishman gave him a chance to impress Pochettino this season, and he's grabbed it with both hands.
He's been solid in defence, and provides a useful attacking outlet, with 2 goals and 2 assists to his name so far, although he's primarily played as a wingback.
Rose's return from injury might give him competition for playing time, but Pochettino's constant fullback rotation policy will ensure that he gets sufficient minutes.
Rose, Alonso and Mendy are viable options, but it makes sense to keep England, Spain and France open for other positions. And the way Davies is progressing, he might soon surpass these other excellent left backs.
