Trent Alexander-Arnold is undoubtedly one of the best right-backs in the world. He came up through Liverpool's youth academy and made his senior debut in 2016. Alexander-Arnold has developed immensely as a footballer and has established himself as a world-class player in just six years.

Alexander-Arnold is known for his ball-playing ability and his eye for a lethal pass. Blessed with impeccable passing accuracy, he has played a key part in the side's recent successes. He is also a huge asset for the side when it comes to delivering from set pieces.

The 23-year-old has registered 11 assists and leads the Premier League charts this season. He also holds several individual records to his name such as the PFA Young Player of the Year and the Premier League Young Player of the Season awards. He will certainly go down in history as a bonafide Liverpool legend.


#2. Virgil van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk is one of the best centre-backs in world football. The Dutchman cost Liverpool a whopping £75 million but has gone to prove his worth over the last four years. His signing is regarded by many as the one that changed the club's fortunes.

Van Dijk has had an integral role to play in Liverpool's domestic and European successes over the last few seasons. He boasts an incredible mix of strength and speed in his armory.

Van Dijk has continued to perform exceptionally well this season and commands a sense of authority in the backline that Liverpool have much yearned for. His contributions over the next couple of months will be crucial in the grand scheme of things.


#1. Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah has been nothing short of sensational for Liverpool in recent years. Having previously represented Chelsea, Basel and Roma, Salah signed for the Reds in 2017 and has accomplished a great deal. He has already racked up several individual and league records, including the PFA Players' Player of the Year award and the Premier League Golden Boot.

Salah has been in unstoppable form this season and already has 20 league goals to his name. He has scored over 20 goals every season since joining and looks set to cross the 30-mark this year.

No player has scored more goals in the Premier League this season than Salah. Several fans have likened this year's performance to that of his debut season when he registered a record 32 league goals.

Although Salah may not hit that number once again, his contributions will certainly be key as Liverpool prepare to challenge for a quadruple this season.
