Former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison picks his best Eagles XI from the previous 10 years at Selhurst Park.

Four current Palace players make the XI, as well as a favourite of their bitter rivals Brighton...

The pundit's verdict: In goal...

Julian Speroni looks dejected after Liverpool's third goal

It 100 per cent has to Julian Speroni. He wasn't very good when he first came in, but he's not only a brilliant goalkeeper, he's one of the best human beings you'll meet in football.

In defence...

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the right-back without a shadow of a doubt. As a partnership, Mamadou Sakho and James Tomkins were very good, while my mate Patrick van Aanholt is improving a lot and will only get better and better.

In midfield...

Jason Puncheon in action during the pre-season friendly between Boreham Wood and Crystal Palace

Ruben Loftus-Cheek was a fantastic player, even on loan. He's going to be a superstar for England when he gets back fit, and he got the fans at Selhurst Park off their feet. Mile Jedinak was a brilliant player, and the fans loved him, while Jason Puncheon is a south London boy who scored some important goals.

In attack...

Wilfried Zaha

Glenn Murray scored a lot of big goals, he is a Brighton man now, but Palace fans still like him.

A front three of Murray alongside Yannick Bolasie and Wilfried Zaha would cause so much trouble. Bolasie's trickery on the wing, while Zaha is a legend at the club and will go down as one of Palace's best-ever players.
