Arguably the best Premier League trio of the last decade, at their peak the attacking triangle of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane were considered to be the best in the world.

The three forwards enjoy excellent chemistry, and Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool have been the beneficiaries. Salah is regarded as one of the best players in world football, while Firmino and Mane are seen as underrated players without whom Liverpool would not function.

The trio led Liverpool to success in the Champions League and the Premier League under Klopp. Last season, though, saw a decline in their performance levels and there have been suggestions that the time has come for Liverpool to move on from their fabled attacking trio.


#2 Thierry Henry- Robert Pires- Dennis Bergkamp (Arsenal)

Three of the best attackers in Premier League history all played together and wrote history for Arsenal.

Thierry Henry is one of the greatest players of all time and arguably the Premier League's best ever. He was ably supported by Robert Pires and Dennis Bergkamp, magicians in their own right with incredible quality and the ability to single-handedly win games for their sides.

The trio were Arsene Wenger's preferred attackers during the 2003/04 season, with Arsenal winning the Premier league unbeaten. Henry scored 30 league goals, with Pires registering 14 and Bergkamp chipping in with four.


#1 Cristiano Ronaldo- Carlos Tevez- Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)

Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney have enjoyed incredible careers, and are some of the best players of their generation.

The attacking trio played together for Manchester United during the 2007/08 season and played crucial roles as their club romped to Premier League and Champions League success. Cristiano Ronaldo was the best player in the world that season, scoring 31 league goals.

Wayne Rooney, on the other hand, was the boy wonder who had fulfilled his potential. The Englishman scored 12 league goals, while Tevez, who scored 14, was highly praised for his industry and hard work. While the likes of Ryan Giggs, Louis Saha and Nani provided useful contributions, Manchester United's 2007/08 season was all about Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez.
