It's been a wild and exciting Premier League season so far.
Defending champions Manchester City have fallen off considerably. Surprising Nottingham Forest continues to defy expectations. And league leaders Liverpool threaten to lap the field after a strong start under new boss Arne Slot.
With over half of the campaign played, our B/R World Football writers Leo Collis and Nick Akerman decided to come together and pick a first half of the season. We utilized a 4-2-3-1 formation and also picked a manager as well.
