Without a doubt, one of the biggest names the Premier League has to offer right now is Phil Foden. The Manchester City player is a favourite to win PFA Player of the Year because he may have had the finest year to date.

It's hardly shocking that the Englishman has extraordinary ball understanding given his level of skill on the pitch. He demonstrated this in a recent conversation with the Daily Mail, in which he shared his ideal Premier League starting lineup. It would be a challenge for anybody to assemble a better club, particularly since it includes five of his previous teammates and a wealth of present and potential Hall of Famers on the roster.

Arsenal has fielded some of the best players in history, and supporters of the team in both the 1990s and the 2000s were particularly spoiled for choice. Thierry Henry is regarded as one of the greatest strikers in the history of the English Premier League and one of the greats of Arsenal under Wenger. 

Patrick Vieira is regarded as one of Arsenal's all-time greats in regards to midfield enforcers. It comes as no surprise, then, that Henry and Vieira are included in Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden's all-time Premier League starting lineup.

Who all did the Manchester City playmaker include?

All time Premier League XI for Phil Foden: - Ederson, Kyle Walker, Virgil Van Dijk, Vincent Kompany, Ashley Cole, Patrick Veira, David Silva, Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Aguero, Wayne Rooney

Ederson, Walker, and Van Dijk are the three who are still playing in the Premier League, demonstrating the high calibre of the English top division. This is the kind of thing that will undoubtedly spark a lot of discussion, with many other players like Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, Nemanja Vidic, making strong arguments. To be fair, Henry's career was not filled with many right wing games. Still, it's encouraging to see him named in the starting eleven.
