The NBA has an All-Star Game where rivals team up and Romelu Lukaku suggests something similar could work in the Premier League.
Manchester United striker Lukaku suggested a special one-off match could see a North team take on a South XI.

Manchester United v Stoke City - Premier League - Old Trafford

This idea would see teams like Manchester United stars team up with Manchester City stars, while Liverpool and Everton men could also be on the team. Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham stars will be among the players expected to line up for the south side in the suggested All-Star game.
The Manchester United forward tweeted saying "Here’s an idea for you guys... the NBA has all-star game! Don’t you guys think we should organise one in the @premierleague.. The north vs the south! And the fans vote... what do you guys think? @premierleague @FA 
"
In the NBA, a vote comprising current players, fans and media decides the teams who will face off in an annual contest.
A similar concept exists in the United States' Major League Soccer, with a midseason All-Star team selected by a commination of fan vote, coaches selection and commissioner picks. The side then plays a friendly against a high-profile European opponent. Last season, the MLS All-Stars faced off against Real Madrid.
