Romelu Lukaku's reward for a man-of-the match performance against Chelsea was time off to jet to the United States and watch an NBA game - and it just may have given the Manchester United striker a plan.

Premier League football enjoying an unprecedented golden age courtesy of billions from the 2016-19 television rights deals, though there is room for more glamour as far as Lukaku is concerned.

The Belgian striker took to Twitter to suggest that the Premier League puts together an All-Star game between players from the North and the South to mimic the the NBA's annual clash of the best in the business.

Every year NBA's best players are drafted into two opposing teams based on votes from fans, players and the media, with the two players who amass the most votes named as captains. Two 12-player teams are picked, plus reserves.

​So naturally, we have asked ourselves who would make up the Premier League All-Star offerings were such a game to be squeezed into an already bulging football calendar.
