After reaching two Champions League finals in 2005 and 2007, Liverpool lost their way soon after as ownership issues embroiled the club in turmoil until they found some semblance of stability. Their league form also suffered and have only qualified for the Champions League in two seasons since 2010 – the most recent being this season.

Under Jurgen Klopp, the side have looked like world beaters on their day but have also struggled to break down weaker sides. The Reds had the best record against the top six sides in the Premier League and qualified for the Champions League on the final day of the season at the expense of perennial participants Arsenal.

The club don’t have any superstars as such compared to their counterparts at the top of the table. The highest-earning player is Philippe Coutinho at £150K per week followed by three players at £120K per week, namely James Milner, Adam Lallana, and Daniel Sturridge.
