It was the midfield however that caused the biggest divide after Carragher chose Cole Palmer and Bernardo Silva, snubbing Rodri and Erling Haaland.
While no Haaland would’ve come as a surprise to most, it was the decision to leave Rodri out that Neville picked up on.
He said: “Rodri is the best midfield player in the world in his position.
“They’ve won two trophies already and are about two points, three points off the top of the league. I can’t believe you’ve not picked Rodri in that midfield.”
The only three games Manchester City have lost this season is when Rodri hasn’t been playing.
Despite picking no Aston Villa players, the pair agreed on Unai Emery being the manager of the season so far but the decision not to select any players from his side threw up plenty of debate on social media.
Carragher, meanwhile, was full of praise for Chelsea's Cole Palmer.
“You say you can’t pick a certain player because the team hasn’t done so well, but that for me almost elevates Cole Palmer.
"His performances this season, he’s been Chelsea’s best player by a mile, which is not too difficult.
"That is looking like, I wouldn’t say a mistake from Man City, because would he have got in ahead of Foden or different players?
"But he’s been one of the best players of the season. He’s not just lucky to get in the team, he’s been one of the best players in the Premier League this season.”
