#5 James Milner

James Milner is the leading assist provider in this year's Champions League for Liverpool

James Milner might not be the first name on Liverpool's team sheet, but the former Manchester City man never fails to deliver whenever he gets his chance on the field.

Signed on a free transfer in 2015, James Milner played a vital part in Liverpool's run to the Europa League final during Jurgen Klopp's first season at Anfield before playing an important role as a makeshift left-back in the 2016-2017 season.

Jurgen Klopp mostly used him as a central midfielder this season, and the former England International didn't disappoint him this time as well. James Milner is the leading assist provider in this season's Champions League and has two assists recorded to his name in the Premier League as well.

James Milner is in the second last year of his contract with Liverpool but Jurgen Klopp will look forward to tying him down for some more years if he continues to perform at the same level.

#4 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlin had scored 3 Premier League goals this season

Liverpool has signed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal in the summer of 2017, and this player has really rejuvenated since then. He has already scored 3 Premier League goals this season, more than he ever managed to score during his time at Arsenal.

The quick, strong and technically gifted midfielder, Chamberlain started his career at Liverpool with seven consecutive appearances from the bench before finally getting his first start for Liverpool in a 4-1 win against West Ham. This was the game in which he scored his first League goal for Liverpool. He got the Man of the Match award in Liverpool's 4-3 win over the league leaders, Manchester City.

With the World Cup lurking, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain needs to continue performing at the same level to get the attention of England's manager, Gareth Southgate.

#3 Jordan Henderson

Jordan Henderson will look forward to getting back to his best before the World Cup

Liverpool's captain, Jordan Henderson has been unlucky with injuries from the last couple of seasons, but he is back to his full fitness this season and has been performing really well.

Known for his hard work and athleticism, Jordan Henderson is a perfect fit for Jurgen Klopp's system and he also improved his creative side of the game under the German. He completed 1317 passes in the Premier League this season with an average of 73.16 passes per game. He also has one goal and one assist recorded to his name in the Premier League.

With the World Cup around the corner, Jordan Henderson will look forward to getting back to his best before the start of the tournament.

#2 Andrew Robertson

Andrew Robertson is in a good shape this season

Ever since the departure of John Andre Risse in 2008, the left-back is the most problematic position in Liverpool's squad. Andrea Dossena, Alberto Moreno, and Aly Cissoko all tried to end the crisis but failed to impress.

At the starting of this season, Jurgen Klopp signed Andrew Robertson to change the situation and the boy has definitely lived up to his expectations. Andrew Robertson has to wait for his chances but when he gets his opportunity, he grabs it with both hands.

He is a threat going forward and unlike Alberto Moreno, he is defensively sound as well. Robertson has created 15 chances this season and also won 23 tackles with an impressive rate of 57 percent.

With Alberto Moreno back from his injury, the competition for the place in the starting line-up will only get the best out of the Scottish International.

#1 Emre Can

Emre Can has scored 6 goals in all competitions this season.

Emre Can has been in a sensational form this season. He is enjoying the best goal-scoring season of his career with 6 goals scored in all competitions.

Known for his versatility, Emre Can is a physically strong and technically gifted player who is capable of playing both defensively and offensively in the midfield.

Emre Can has won 61 tackles this season, which is the most among any Liverpool players playing this season. Emre Can was Liverpool's Young Player of the Season for the 2015-2016 season.
