We mentioned the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur having the most priced midfielders in their possessions, but this is going to be different, as this playmaking trio isn't what many would call 'star-studded' or 'high value'. A high contrast in the midfield from the last season, with the exclusion of Jordan Henderson in the first 3 matches and the arrival of a brand new £52.75million box to box midfielder being the core of the Liverpool machinery, Naby Keita is a true Guinean force that many had underestimated upon arrival.

However, the former Leipzig playmaker stood up to the expectations as a midfielder who has the team's back. Forging an alliance with James Milner and Georgino Wijnaldum, the Liverpool number 8 deploys himself either as a number 10 or as a central playmaker. With James Milner being the aggressor, and Wijnaldum being the Deep-lying midfielder. The trio was they key behind their first 3 victories.

As the season progresses, and Liverpool face a tougher opponent in the form of Leicester City, the three horsemen will be the captains of the boat, providing magical through balls and finding spaces for the likes of Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane, their skills and guts will be tested. With a counter-attacking approach and a manager who is flexible enough, will the walk out the as winners?
