Sadio Mane got the nod over Raheem Sterling in our Manchester City vs Liverpool combined XI to make it 6-5 to the Reds.
SPORTbible followers on Instagram chose the Senegalese star over Sterling as part of a lethal front three with Sergio Aguero and Mo Salah.
Liverpool players dominated at the back while Man City took over in midfield, but it was up front where the tough decisions needed to be made.

Mane picked up 53 per cent of votes on SPORTbible's Instagram stories this week with Sterling on 47 per cent.
It was the closest call in the whole team and meant there were six Liverpool players and just five from Pep Guardiola's domestic treble winners.
Alisson won the battle of the Brazilian goalkeepers, picking up 75 per cent of the votes against Man City's Ederson.
Only Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte made it into a defence dominated by Liverpool players with Trent Alexander-Arnold joined by Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson.
The midfield was awash with sky blue, though, with Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva comfortably seeing off Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum.
