On Friday, Thierry Henry picked his combined XI from the current Premier League top-four.Arsenals Hector Bellerin, Leicesters Jamie Vardy, Tottenhams Dele Alli and Manchester Citys Sergio Aguero were among the players to make the cut in his team. Now, Soccer Saturday pundit Charlie Nicholas has selected his best XI from players at Arsenal, Leicester, Man City and Tottenham. Heres who made his team... People are obviously going to question Riyad Mahrez, who Im fully behind for player of the year, and Jamie Vardy not being in my selection but Ive picked my side to suit a certain style, and how do I leave out Sergio Aguero? Hes up there with anyone other than Lionel Messi right now.This team is picked on what they can do on their day and, in Danny Drinkwaters case, what he had to suffer last season with no complaints. GOALKEEPER Petr Cech has impressed Charlie Nicholas this season Kasper Schmeichel and Joe Hart are great keepers but its Hugo Lloris who is closest to Petr Cech. Lloris is probably better at playing the sweeper role with his pace and ability to read the situation, but I have to go with the Arsenal man because hes the signing that has kept Arsenal in the title race.DEFENDERS Tottenhams Toby Alderweireld makes Nicholas selection Its a tough one at right-back as I dont think there are any exceptional options, but Ive gone with Kyle Walker because hes an absolute beast of an athlete and has more ability than Hector Bellerin. Pablo Zabaleta should be the player Im picking but he hasnt done anything this season.Then on the left Im going with Christian Fuchs as hes been tremendously consistent for Leicester. He does the basics right every time and, while hes the least ambitious of the options, hes the one Id trust. Charlie predicts Find out what Charlie Nicholas is tipping up at 30/1 for Manchester City v Tottenham here. There are a lot of great options at centre-back but I have to go with Toby Alderweireld and Wes Morgan. Alderweireld has probably been the most consistent defender for me. Hes a solid unit and more. How many times have we seen him play that lovely diagonal to Dele Alli? Then theres Morgan, who is just a muscle unit. He does exactly whats said on the tin and sometimes I just like seeing defenders doing the basics. Laurent Koscielny should be in there but hes just not reached the levels hes capable of.MIDFIELD Danny Drinkwater deserves recognition, says Nicholas My holding midfielder would be Eric Dier. Hes calm on the ball, never in a rush, and can get physical and upset the fluency of the game when he needs to. He will be the most important Spurs player against City on Sunday.Alongside him I want to give Danny Drinkwater the recognition he deserves. He had to suffer on the bench last season and everyone said theyre going to struggle to replace Esteban Cambiasso but his team-work and passing allows other players to do what they do.My more advanced trio starts with Alexis Sanchez on the left. He makes goals and scores goals and defenders hate him because of his movement.In the middle its Mesut Ozil, who is just a superstar of a footballer. Everything is controlled and he really does see a wonderful picture of the game. Then theres Alli. He scored a goal of the class of Dennis Bergkamp and if he doesnt win Young Player of the Year Ill buy all the Soccer Saturday boys a drink. He may be on the right but Id give him license to go wherever he wants.ATTACK Sergio Aguero is among the worlds best, says Nicholas Then up front I have to go with the best striker in the Premier League, Sergio Aguero. It took him a while to get going again after his injury but now hes on form theres no stopping him. You can put pace against him, get physical with him, it doesnt matter. He is just a special, special player.Watch Arsenal v Leicester from 11.30am and Man City v Tottenham from 4pm, live on Sky Sports 1HD on SundayAlso See:Henrys top-four combined XITitle race tactical battles - RedknappMersons predictionsSouness fears for City, ArsenalDavid Beckham England Jersey .

Busch will start ninth, Edwards 10th, Logano 13th and Johnson 14th. Johnson would match Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Richard Petty for the NASCAR record with his seventh career Cup championship.I dont think any of us want to start that far back, Edwards said.But they are bunched close enough that one TV camera can probably catch them all as they head into the first turn on the 1.5-mile track. Busch started third in the finale last season, won the race and his first career Cup title.The foursome likely wont lag behind the front of the field for long.This is a place you can pass, Logano said.The highest-finishing driver among the four is the 2016 champion. Under the revamped Chase format, the Homestead winner the last two years won the championship.Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski, eliminated from title contention in earlier rounds of NASCARs playoffs, played spoiler and swept the front row.I think weve been the two best cars all year, Keselowski said.Ryan Newman, Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr., Matt Kenseth and Ryan Blaney all willl start ahead of the championship drivers.ddddddddddddThe drivers out of the championship picture traditionally part to let the contenders race each other hard in the meat of the race.You get a little more respect from those guys, Busch said.Amid a heap of tributes, Tony Stewart starts 11th in the final race of his NASCAR career. Stewart is trying to race to his 50th career Cup victory and end a triumphant career in victory lane.There hasnt been any part of my career that I didnt enjoy, Stewart said. There are things about everything that Ive done that Ive liked more than others and disliked more than others. But as a whole, Ive enjoyed everything Ive done and the road that Ive taken to get here.Edwards and Busch are each vying to win a second straight championship for Joe Gibbs Racing. Johnson could bring a 12th title to Hendrick Motorsports. Logano wants to reward Roger Penskes 50th season in racing with another championship.Asked what keeps him going after all these years, Penske quipped, Trying to beat these guys.Harvick, the 2014 Homestead winner and Cup champion, won his second pole of the season. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver could also deliver a victory celebration for Stewart.Johnson was antsy to chase history.Qualifying isnt my strong suit, Im much better at racing, he said. So lets line them up and go racing. ' ' '
