Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez have been named the Premier League's best attacking trio, beating the current Liverpool three and Arsenal's Invincibles.
There's been some incredible attacking trios in the top tier in England in recent years, with the change from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 seeing the end of the traditional strike partnerships like Shearer and Sutton and Cole and Yorke of the 90s.
Included on the list were the threes from the past two seasons in current Liverpool trio of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane and City's trio of Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane from last season.

It's certainly an assessment that Gary Neville agrees with. Speaking last week on Sky Sport's Football Show the former United captain explained why he puts the three he played with ahead of the men who are nearly Premier League champions this season, "Tevez for a year with Rooney and Ronaldo was just breathtaking, it was out of this world. Not just because of the quality of the players, but there was a selfish, horrible, nasty determination with those three.
"Ronaldo in a different way on the pitch, he wouldn't go around kicking and hassling people, hustling, he was immense in terms of his performance levels, but Rooney and Tevez were street fighters but with unbelievable ability and there was something of that front three.
"The best front three in the Premier League, you'll never beat those three for me. You can talk about Mane, Salah and Firmino, I love them to bits, plus [Raheem] Sterling, [Sergio] Aguero and [Leroy] Sane at City but you look at that front three of Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo at their peak, it was out of this world."
Whilst Neville obviously thinks Tevez was excellent alongside Rooney and Ronaldo, especially as they won the league and Champions League double in 2008, he had his issues with the Argentine towards the end of his spell at Old Trafford.

Last week he came face to face with the former Juventus forward's agent Kia Joorabchian, something Jamie Carragher enjoyed, a lot.
