#3 Caoimhin Kelleher

Despite Liverpool having the more experienced Adrian on their bench, Caoimhin Kelleher has firmly nailed down the No. 2 position at the club. The Irish shot-stopper is the youngest Liverpool goalkeeper to ever keep a clean sheet on his Premier League debut at 22 years and 13 days. Kelleher looks set for a long career at the club.

He has already started games in the Champions League and Premier League for Liverpool. In his first consistent run in the starting XI, Kelleher impressively managed three consecutive clean sheets as well.

The keeper's antics also earned him his first international call-up to the Republic of Ireland earlier this year. Jurgen Klopp has been delighted with Kelleher's progression at the club and the shot-stopper was rewarded with a long-term contract earlier this summer.


#2 Curtis Jones

Curtis Jones has surprised everyone with the strides he's taken over a short period of time. The Englishman is set to become a lynchpin in Liverpool's midfield for years to come and recently scored a stunning goal against Brentford.

Due to injuries to several midfield players last season, the inexperienced Jones saw way more game-time than expected. However, the Englishman fit into the team seamlessly and put in impressive performances for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Jones always looks comfortable in possession due to his ability on the ball and mobility in midfield. The Englishman also has an eye for goal, becoming the Reds' first teenager to score in consecutive games since Raheem Sterling in 2014.

Jones is set to play a more pronounced role in Jurgen Klopp's side and will hope to take his game to the next level this season.


#1 Trent Alexander-Arnold

A truly generational talent, Trent Alexander-Arnold has become one of the best right-backs in the world over a short period of time at Liverpool. It is no surprise that the Reds' rise to dominance coincided with the Englishman establishing himself as a regular starter at the club.

Alexander-Arnold's ability to pick out a pass and his proficiency with set-pieces is one of Liverpool's biggest weapons. The full-back has already been named in the PFA Team of the Year twice, and in the UEFA Team of the Year once. Alexander-Arnold also won the Premier League Young Player of the Season and PFA Young Player of the Year award for the 2019-20 season.

The Englishman is an integral part of Jurgen Klopp's offensive gameplan. At just 22 years of age, it is scary to think that his best years are still ahead of him.
