Firmino enjoyed a great game last weekend

Defensive-midfield: N'Golo Kante

Chelsea's summer signing Kante has settled well and is performing just like he did for Leicester last season. Kante has been immense for the Blues in his first four games as he is slowly becoming one of their most important players. He brings a solid presence to the middle of the park which Liverpool lacks at the moment.

Centre-midfield: Jordan Henderson

Despite constant criticism from all sides, the Liverpool captain has gone on to perform consistently for his side this season. He is playing well in his withdrawn role as he has the most passes and most interceptions for this campaign.

Left-wing: Eden Hazard

The Belgian is getting back to his usual best as he is starting to exert more influence in every game – something he failed to do in the last season. In Chelsea's last home game against Burnley, Hazard was close to being unstoppable and he keeps Philippe Coutinho out of this combined eleven.

Attacking-midfield: Roberto Firmino

Firmino had an impressive outing against the champions as he scored two goals and was a constant threat to Leicester's defence. He is becoming Liverpool's talisman as his high pressing and immense work rate has made him one of Klopp's go to guy.

Right-wing: Sadio Mane

Many doubted Liverpool's decision to spend big on the Senegalese but he has gone to prove everyone wrong as he is performing splendidly for the Reds in each game he has played. From the first four games' performance, Mane will also get into a combined lineup from all Premier League clubs.
