Most of the World Cup squads are in, so we've decided to have a bit of fun here at SPORTbible in the form of a fantasy match-up between a Premier League based WC XI vs. a La Liga based WC XI.

Just check these sides out.

The likes of England, Belgium, Spain, Argentina and France, among others, have selected their 23-man squad for the World Cup, with each nation filled with talent and huge names.

We're talking Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi and Antoine Greizmann, to name but a few.

The aforementioned players have enjoyed superb campaigns, not to mention being in scintillating form, with their respective clubs ahead of venturing to Russia.

Both the top flights from England and Spain boast a plethora of names.

But who would get in a Premier League and La Liga based World Cup XI?

Well, we've mustered up some players to form a side representing clubs from England and Spain who will be competing this summer.

Premier League XI:

Between the sticks, Manchester United's No.1, David De Gea. Spain's first choice keeper.

A three-man defence, which includes Argentina's Nicolas Otamendi, Belgium's Jan Vertonghen and Spain's Cesar Azpilicueta, sit in front of De Gea.

A midfield consists of creativity and pace in the shape of Eden Hazard, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling.

Completed with a three-ponged attack; Liverpool's 'Egyptian King' Mohamed Salah as well as England captain Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero.

Not a bad side, right?!

How does it fare against it's Spanish based counterpart?

La Liga XI:

In goal, Barcelona's Marc-AndrΓ© ter Stegen who's been selected in Germany's provisional squad.

Uruguay's trusted defender Diego Godin joins Spain's Sergio Ramos and Samuel Umtiti. The France international has been solid at the back since his arrival.

We're spoiled for choice in the midfield department. Though we've ultimately opted for Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Isco and Andres Iniesta. Honourable mention to Sergio Busquets and Saul Niguez.

Rounded off with a truly frightening attack; Antoine Griezmann, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Phwoar!
