5 most underrated forwards currently in the Premier League

#2 Roberto Firmino (Liverpool)

Roberto Firmino

Of all the teams in the Premier League, Liverpool is arguably the most intriguing. For a team that boasts the incredible attacking that they possess, Liverpool find themselves 5th in the table and have had some unflattering results so far this season.

Often overshadowed by his more charismatic teammates -- Mohammad Salah, Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho -- Roberto Firmino has been an integral part of the attacking machine Jurgen Klopp is trying to create at Anfield. Starting as a regular ahead of Daniel Sturridge, the 26-year-old Brazilian did endure a difficult spell earlier in the year but is now beginning to prove his worth to the team.

“When Roberto is not good, he’s not bad. He’s just not at his best. He’s still working hard", said Klopp, in response to questions regarding Firmino's lack of goals earlier in the season. With 3 goals apiece in the Premier League and the Champions League, it bodes well for Klopp and Liverpool that Firmino is beginning to regain some much-needed confidence.

Arguably the hardest worker in Liverpool's talented forward line, an in-form Firmino alongside Salah, Mane and Coutinho will be terribly difficult to deal with for any Premier League defence. With Liverpool beginning to pick up some form, fans of the club will be hoping to see the Brazilian back to his best this season.
