PIERS MORGAN has picked his Dream Team ahead of the new season – have you?
Managers across the country are putting the final touches to their XIs, with an eye on the monster top prize of £50,000!
And that includes Piers, who is looking to put his football knowledge to the test and take YOU on in his own Celebrity League.
You won’t be surprised to hear he’s backing his North London boys, with no less than FIVE Arsenal players making the cut.
Just one player is selected from reigning Premier League champions Manchester City – and it’s NOT Erling Haaland.
As well as the 1st prize, ten runners-up will win £1,000 each.
And the winner of Gameweek 1 will scoop £5,000, with more weekly prizes to follow!

Brentford’s Mark Flekken (£2.5m) averaged 3.4 points per Gameweek last season and gets the nod between the sticks.
Two Arsenal players make up the back three in Piers’ 3-5-2 formation, with William Saliba (£5m) partnered by new boy Riccardo Calafiori, given a price of £4m ahead of his Premier League debut.
The Italy international looks set to operate as a left-back with Gabriel and Saliba – picked by over 25% of players currently after 238 points last year – likely to continue their centre-back partnership.
Marc Guehi (£3.5m) joins the two Gunners but who will he be lining up for? His future at Crystal Palace is seemingly up in the air with Newcastle hunting his signature.
PLAY DREAM TEAM AHEAD OF THE NEW SEASON!
Piers’ five-man midfield oozes class with Arsenal trio Declan Rice (£4m), Martin Odegaard (£5m) and Bukayo Saka (£6m) all included.
They’re joined by the only City representative in Ballon D’Or contender Rodri (£4.5m) and England star Eberechi Eze (£4.5m).
As mentioned, Haaland is not included, with former Gunners target Alexander Isak (£5m) partnering Three Lions hero Ollie Watkins (£6m) in attack.
