    Ex-Premier League star Jamie O'Hara has chosen Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero over Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk in a combined eleven.<\/p>\n

    Spurs and Liverpool will go toe-to-toe on Saturday evening in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp and Ange Postecoglou have both experienced fast starts to the season – with the two sides currently second and fourth. <\/p>\n

    However, when asked to name his combined squad, O'Hara picked Romero over Van Dijk due to the Dutchman's current poor form. O'Hara told Grosvenor Sport: "Virgil van Dijk? No! <\/p>\n

    "People need to stop living in the past! I\u2019ll go with Ibrahima Konate and Cristian Romero. Micky van de Ven also gets a mention \u2013 he\u2019s been unbelievable since he came in, but he doesn\u2019t get in and Van Dijk doesn\u2019t start for me either."<\/p>\n

    Van Dijk has made four appearances in the Premier League this season, but he was given his marching orders against Newcastle. As a result, the Dutchman has only completed the full 90 minutes against Chelsea, Bournemouth and West Ham.<\/p>\n

    Also in his squad, O'Hara opted for Alisson in net with a backline of Destiny Udogie, Romero, Konate and Trent Alexander-Arnold. In the midfield, the ex-Spurs man selected Yves Bissouma, James Maddison and Reds newboy Dominik Szoboszlai.<\/p>\n

    O'Hara produced another shock up top, and when selecting his three attackers he opted for Luis Diaz. The Colombian is yet to play a full game in the Premier League this campaign, and his two goals came in the opening two games.<\/p>\n

    Alongside Diaz, O'Hara picked Son Heung-min and Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n
