Liverpool are blessed to have two of the best full-backs in the Premier League right now. Andy Robertson has been superb over the past few years and continues to be a valuable asset on the flanks.

The Scottish left-back's darting runs combined with his amazing crossing abilities have been a delight to watch. Robertson has registered nine assists this season, the third-most in the Premier League this campaign.

Out of the nine, three of them have helped Diogo Jota register goals. The Portuguese has a lively presence in the opposition box and courtesy of his chemistry with Robertson, the duo have been quite productive for Liverpool. Notably, Jota is also the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League this season with 12 strikes to his name.
