Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has unveiled his Premier League team of the season after 19 games, and it features some unexpected names.

Forest boasts the third-best defense in the league, conceding just 19 goals, and have recorded 11 wins, four draws, and just four defeats.

The 28-year-old right-back has started all 19 of Nottingham Forest's Premier League games, scoring two goals and earning widespread praise.

His performances have even caught the attention of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who is reportedly considering Aina as a short-term replacement for the struggling Kyle Walker.

Aina is joined in Carragher's team by his Forest teammate Nikola Milenkovic, as well as other notable players like Virgil Van Dijk, Antonee Robinson, Ryan Gravenberch, Moises Caicedo, Mohammed Salah, Cole Palmer, Matheus Cunha, and Chris Wood.

Carragher's team selection highlights the impressive performances of several players, including Aina, who have made significant contributions to their teams' success this season.
