We’ve done the senior Premier League XI of the season; now it’s time for the young guns.
Trent Alexander-Arnold made the senior team so we’ve left him out of this one to make more space for others. All the players included had to be 23 or younger at the start of the season.

CB: Reece James (Chelsea)
We’ve slung him in on the right of a back three where he’s played frequently under Thomas Tuchel. It’s not his best position, but neither is right wing-back. What we’ve seen of James for the vast majority of his…
