Today's offering sees East Asia battle it out with ASEAN as Lam Ka Wai's excellent strike for Hong Kong's Kitchee SC in the 2014 campaign goes up against a lovely effort from Persija Jakarta's Rezaldi Hehanusa from the 2018 tournament in which the Indonesians shone brightly.

The latest pairing sees ASEAN take on Central Asia as a Nguyen Quang Hai special for Hanoi FC in 2019 goes head to head with a powerful effort from distance from FC Istiklol's Manuchehr Dzhalilov from two years earlier.

Over the past two weeks we have seen the goalkeeper and the back four in front of him decided, so now it's time to turn our attention to the midfield and find out who you consider the top trio.

So, here are the 10 players in contention for three places in the centre of the park. Review the candidates and then select your favourite for this all-star XI in the poll below.

Graham Arnold’s Olyroos will play Sydney FC on November 12 and then will take on the A-League’s newest club, Macarthur FC five days later, with both matches to be played at the Jubilee Stadium in Kogarah.

After a frustrating year of camp, match and tournament postponements due to the national and international effects of COVID-19, Arnold said he is looking forward to assembling an Australia U23 selection as the road to the rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games continues.

Jordan’s last match was their 5-0 win against Chinese Taipei in the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and AFC Asian Cup China 2023, where they have three remaining ties.

With two friendly matches scheduled during their Dubai camp, the Belgian hopes it will serve as good preparation for their remaining ties in the Asian Qualifiers as it will give him a chance to see the level of his players for the first time in 12 months.

The 20-year-old winger was part of the team that defeated Ordabasy Shymkent 3-1 at Central Stadium, extending Kairat’s lead at the top of the table to an insurmountable 15 points, and confirming their first top division title since 2004.

Kairat’s breakthrough success gives them opportunity to qualify for the 2021-22 UEFA Champions Leagues, and ends the reign of Nursultan-based FC Astana, who won a record six consecutive titles from 2014 to 2019.
