Radja Nainggolan and Jordan Henderson are key for their respective teams. Nainggolan is one of the best midfielders in the Serie A and has made a name for himself over the past few years. On his day he can compete with the best. A quintessential box to box midfielder, he has everything that you'd need from a midfielder; a wide range of passing, the drive to go forward and the tackling ability.

The matches of this high calibre are always won in the midfield. The midfield determines the what kind of supply is given to the forwards as well as what kind of a link is established between the defence and the attack.

Off late, Jordan Henderson has started to perform against the big teams. His performance against Manchester City was incredible, as he worked out good passes, got his tackles spot on and made it difficult for Pep Guardiola's team to play their quick passing game. Liverpool fans will expect him to replicate his high-intensity performance against the team from Rome.
