Liverpool are blessed to have two of the best full-backs in the Premier League right now. Andy Robertson has been superb over the past few years and continues to be a valuable asset on the flanks.

The Scottish left-back's darting runs combined with his amazing crossing abilities have been a delight to watch. Robertson has registered nine assists this season, the third-most in the Premier League this campaign.

Out of the nine, three of them have helped Diogo Jota register goals. The Portuguese has a lively presence in the opposition box and courtesy of his chemistry with Robertson, the duo have been quite productive for Liverpool. Notably, Jota is also the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League this season with 12 strikes to his name.

Despite Manchester United's woes to score on a regular basis and seal the game, their midfielders have done a decent job for them this season. The Red Devils are blessed to have some of the best midfielders in Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba.

Having played just 14 matches this season, Paul Pogba has eight assists to his name. The Frenchman is one of the most creative players on the pitch when on song. Should he add more consistency too his game, there will be no stopping him.

Bruno Fernandes, on the other hand, has been a hugely-influential player for Manchester United. With his creativity and goal-scoring abilities, the Red Devils have seen the Portuguese contribute goals on a regular basis.

Pogba and Fernandes share a great understanding of the game. The duo have linked up superbly this season to try to help United and in the process Pogba has assisted his teammate four times.
