Carragher went for Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez in between the sticks, as well as Vladimir Coufal and John Stones in his backline.
N'Golo Kante was his holding midfielder, with Heung-Min Son getting the nod over Mo Salah.
Neville, meanwhile, opted for Edouard Mendy in goal courtesy of an impressive first season at Chelsea - as well as England pair Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire in defence.
Ilkay Gundogan's contributions for Manchester City sees him earn a deserved spot in central midfield, with Marcus Rashford playing on the left in a strong team.
Of course, the two then got into a min-debate over which side would win - Neville "100 per cent" adamant that his team would emerge victorious.
Both went for Pep Guardiola as manager of the season as he closes in on a third Premier League title in the last four campaigns, but Neville said he would change his choice to Thomas Tuchel if the German guides Chelsea to a Champions League and FA Cup double having been appointed in January.
