PIERS MORGAN has picked two current Arsenal stars in his all-time Gunners XI.

But fans declared that one of his picks was “ridiculous.”

Morgan is in high spirits after seeing Arsenal move top of the Premier League table with just three games to go.

The Gunners are on a three-match winning run after last month’s defeat to Aston Villa and Champions League exit to Bayern Munich.

They first cruised past Wolves 2-0 before dismantling Chelsea 5-0.

Arsenal then secured what could be the biggest result of their season by defeating Spurs 3-2 in the derby.

And they now lead Man City, who have a game in hand, by a point ahead of games with Bournemouth, Man United and Everton.

Stars like Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice have truly stepped up to the plate this season.

And the modern-day greats have landed themselves a place in Morgan’s all-time Arsenal XI as a result.

Firstly, the TalkTV star opted for David Seaman between the sticks.

And he secured a rock-solid defence featuring Lee Dixon, Tony Adams, Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole.

Morgan then went for Rice and Patrick Vieira in midfield.

Saka and Robert Pires were chosen to flank them on the wings.

And Morgan finished with a front two of Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry.

The incredible XI would surely storm the Premier League in this day and age.

But some fans weren’t convinced about the picks for Rice and Saka.

One said: “Rice is a ridiculous shout. Hope he does end up in these conversations but absolutely no chance nine months into his Arsenal career.”

Another declared: “Rice already? I love the bloke but he can’t get in over someone as esteemed as Liam Brady for me.”

One noted: “Rice and Saka?!”

Another added: “Freddie Ljungberg has been hung out to dry.”
