Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have picked their Premier League team and player of the season.

Appearing on the final Monday Night Football of the season, the Sky Sports pundits dished out their awards for the 2025/26 campaign.

Read on to find out who they picked and why…

Gary Neville’s Team of the Season

Neville’s XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, O’Reilly; Semenyo, Rice, Fernandes, Silva; Thiago, Haaland.

“I was toying between Elliott Anderson in midfield and putting Bernardo Silva somewhere else, he was my last pick. I was unequivocal at right-back. Timber has been injured the last couple of months, but he’s the best right-back in the league by a mile. He has it all.”

Jamie Carragher’s Team of the Season

Carragher’s XI: Raya; Nunes, Saliba, Gabriel, O’Reilly; Rice, Silva; Semenyo, Fernandes, Doku; Haaland.

“I went with Nunes and O’Reilly because at the start of the season, when I saw who Man City had at full-back, I didn’t think for one minute they could win trophies or challenge for the title. Nunes is a midfield player but he plays every game, he’s consistent, brilliant defensively and really good on the ball. Timber has had a few injuries. Doku has been fantastic.

Gary Neville’s Player of the Season: Bruno Fernandes

Neville: “I could say Declan Rice, Gabriel, Bernardo Silva, but Bruno getting level with Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry puts him in the very best company in terms of what the Premier League has to offer creativity.

“I could look a fool in a couple of weeks as Rice and Gabriel could end up with a Premier League title and Champions League double, but Bruno deserves it for playing and persisting in a struggling team for half the season and then excelling in the way he has.

“Before Christmas, the walls were closing in and it was like the world was ending at Man Utd with what was going on. They were in a desperate situation. They turned it around against Arsenal and City, beaten Liverpool twice and Chelsea. If you don’t play well, you get criticised heavily.”

Jamie Carragher’s Player of the Season: Declan Rice

Carragher: “I’m a huge fan of Bruno Fernandes, but you’re picking a player whose games haven’t had any real jeopardy. I’d go with Declan Rice. He was outstanding in the Champions League semi-finals against Atletico Madrid.

“He’s been a driving force for Arsenal. He dropped off a little bit around the Man City games and the cup final was because of a little bit of fatigue. They’ve constantly been playing midweek games because they’re in all the competitions.

“Man Utd went out of both cup competitions; they didn’t have Europe, I can’t think of many big games that Bruno has been involved in.”
