Footballers, managers and coaches are having to keep themselves busy during the indefinite break from the game. We've seen various 'stay at home' challenges involving toilet rolls and tea bags which have been widely shared on social media.
Now Chelsea's assistant manager Jody Morris has got in on the act by coming up with his ultimate Premier League XI after being challenged by former Rugby player and pundit Ugo Monye.
His choices are certainly controversial with no Liverpool or Manchester City players making the line-up, despite the latter's four recent titles.
Morris has a 17-year playing career before he went into coaching, starting at Chelsea where he played alongside current Blues manager Frank Lampard and John Terry.
He selected both of his good friends although with Lampard now his boss it's not surprising he made the team.
Morris joined Lampard's coaching staff when he was given his first role in management at Derby County last season and followed him back to Stamford Bridge when he was given the Chelsea job.
But Terry and Lampard are not the only ex-Blues to make the team. Petr Cech joined Chelsea in 2004, a year after Morris left, but he gets the nod in goal while Eden Hazard is selected as a left-sided attacker.
Ashley Cole, who won nine trophies with the Blues including the Champions League in 2012, is in at left back which makes a total of five ex Chelsea players.
The rest of the team is made up of players from Morris' playing era rather than current stars.
Manchester United are also well represented with five former players including Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The remaining two come from the Arsenal Invincibles - Patrick Viera and Thierry Henry.
There's no place for any of Man City's treble-winning team from last season with Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne notable absentees.
There was no room for Liverpool's Virgil Van Dijk or Mohamed Salah with Hazard and Ronaldo the only two selections that have not retired from the game.
However, he did include Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold as 'potentials' who just missed out.
Players who didn't make the cut from Morris' era include the likes of Alan Shearer, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney - who is still playing for the coach's old side Derby.
The 41-year-old has nominated 'anyone who fancies it' to have their say and perhaps some of his selections will pick their own ultimate XI.

Have you lost it...how many times have aguero made top 10 list of ballon d’or. And how can aguero play as winger, hazard that always won pl best player almost every season. Who is aguero
you aguero is one of the premier league greatest players so he should have played 2 strikers

As a true blue, this guy Morris should show some respect to Drogba. If he has to include Henry, then let it be a two man strike with both Drogba and Henry. Then replace Ronaldo with Rooney.. even any United fan will agree. As for Liverpool fans, I just feel Gerrard should and must be in this team.. but again the 3 at the middle are all untouchable.. am a big fan of VIERA. Scholes is Scholes and Lampard is the deal. So am out of options. So I think I will sacrifice VIERA for Gerrard. In terms of wingers, I don't think there has been a better winger than Hazard, so he has to be there. Defense is okay. Cech is the undisputed number one edging Van Der Sar.

He is a Chelsea fan so it’s obvious he will pick almost whole XI of Chelsea players. Not putting here Gererd only shows how blind is this man. Tbh maybe only Cole deserves spot from Chelsea. CB should be VVD. TAA for Neville, Gerrard for Lampard, Rooney for Hazard, Van Der Saar for Cech and for me Vidic was better than Rio
I understand you are a Liverpool fan but let not a 2 season hype deceive you. The only Liverpool player who can be in an EPL ULTIMATE XI TEAM is Gerrard. The rest the likes of Virgil Van Dijik, TAA, and any other player u mentioned up there will have to do what they are doing now for at least 6 straight seasons before they can make it to be in the Ultimate team. As for goal keeper, seems u started watching Cech at Arsenal. Cech will remain the undisputed best goal keeper of the last century. Most clean sheets ever in EPL., not forgetting he conceded just 15 goals a whole season. ROONEY must be in this team ahead of CR7. Terry, Rio, Lampard all must be in the team. Feel free to argue your point from a football fan perspective not only just as a Liverpool fan.,

This is gonna sound Mega controversial but Ronaldo might have to be excluded. Hear me out, he was a fantastic player but putting Ronaldo in would be like putting Salah in as in the premier league both hit the same heights till the latter went La Liga and dominated world football with Madrid. It's a bit unfair maybe on players with longer careers who done more over time. Even Eden Hazard I love but I'd put Zola over as a Chelsea fan cos Zola is under the radar but he like Eden was a player who was carrying the team a lot when Frank and John and co. were still raw till we spent huge amounts of money to bring in Didier and others. Yes before the money we still had ideally a title winning squad with Zola, Desailly, Terry, Lampard, Gudjohnson, Makelele, Hasslebaink, Gallas, Petit, Crespo, Veron were all top players and this is before we threw out the money....
but its his team not yours

VVD and TAA in an ultimate premier league team man you must be nuts these guys have had barely 3 to 4 good years and you think they are better than guys who had over 10 years of consistency in the league man be realistic

remove Ronaldo and put Rooney. no disrespect to Ronaldo but I think his best years were in Spain. He had just two top years in England. Also remove Hazard for Giggs or Aguero.

You dumb af. Lampard was light years ahead of Gerrard statitsically. Hazard is better than any Liverpool winger. VVD will never reach the level of Terry or Ferdinand or even Vidic. Cech has the most clean sheets in the history of the top 5 leagues. Stop discussing football, it's not for you.

1)Shearer in The Middle, Henry on The Left 2) Gerrard over Viera 3)Van Der Sar over Cech(But both are Great)
Cech is the best keeper the prem has ever seen. Van Der Sar isnt even the best United keeper that title goes to Peter Schmeichal. Cech has the most clean sheets in Europes TOP 5 LEAGUES. That's legendary...

I actually agree with him, this is why he was such a successful coach both at youth level and as a number 2. I think if Frank got sacked (forbid it) he would get the job. I hope him and Frank become an unstoppable duo but from what I seen this guy is too good not to go into management himself. Chelsea who academy success model single handedly was built by this guy.

I think he wanted a winger hence he chose hazard. It would be between Henry and Aguero.
