Tony Bellew names his Team of the Season - and Everton fans love it

Everton fan and former boxer Tony Bellew has taken to Twitter to name his personal picks for the Premier League Team of the Season - naming one Blues man, and no Liverpool stars, in his XI.

Lucas Digne was the only one of Marco Silva 's men to get into Bellew's side, while he agreed with the six Manchester City players named in the real PFA team earlier this week.

Digne, who has four goals and four assists in the league this season, was selected ahead of Liverpool's Andy Robertson at left-back, with PFA Player of the Year favourite Virgil van Dijk left out in favour of Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld.

Bellew also picked Chelsea's Eden Hazard, who has scored 16 league goals this season, and Tottenham's Heung-Min Son, who has impressed with his performances under Mauricio Pochettino, for his front line, leaving out Reds man Sadio Mane.

Crystal Palace's Aaron-Wan Bissaka, who the Blues will face tomorrow at Selhurst Park, also made Bellew's side. He selected at the expense of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
