Jamie Carragher accused Gary Neville of making a late change to his Premier League team of the season as the Sky Sports pundits differed over three players. Carragher controversially selected Chelsea star Cole Palmer despite the Blues’ poor form, while Neville adopted an unorthodox 4-2-4 formation. The former Manchester United defender justified his picks by saying: “I could have gone with Douglas Luiz at Aston Villa and I compared the stats between Luiz, Rice and Rodri. “Luiz could have got in but with Rice and Rodri, it gives the front four more freedom to attack. Carragher and Neville selected eight of the same players in their 11s, leaving three differences.
