Liverpool are one of the most successful clubs in the history of the Premier League.
Having won a mammoth 19 league titles, it comes as no surprise that some of the world's best players have represented the club over the years. Having last won the league title last in 2020, the Reds now find themselves in second place battling rivals Manchester City.
With only three points separating the pair, an exciting final third of the season looks inevitable. Jurgen Klopp and his team will be pushing their limits in the final two months of the season.
On that note, let's take a look at the five Liverpool players with the most goal contributions in Premier League history.

Firmino is extremely versatile and can play anywhere in the attacking line. He also contributes greatly in defense by tracking back and making crucial tackles and interceptions. He has been referred to as the glue between defense and attack in the Liverpool side.
Firmino has scored 70 goals and provided 45 assists in 226 league appearances for the Anfield outfit.

The Englishman worked his way up from the youth academy before making his professional debut for the club in 1993. He went on to spend eight years with the Reds, winning several trophies.
Fowler was famed for his technical abilities and his poaching inside the opponent's box. Always in the right place at the right time, Fowler built a reputation for being one of the club's most reliable attackers.
Despite enduring several injuries during his career, Fowler went on to score 128 Premier League goals for Liverpool in 266 appearances. He also provided 29 assists for his teammates, a testament to his creative ability.

He holds the record for scoring the most goals in a single 38-game edition of the Premier League with 32 goals in his debut season.
Salah has already won the Premier League Golden Boot twice and looks set to win it once again with 20 league goals this campaign.

Gerrard's name is almost synonymous with Liverpool. Coming up through the academy, he spent 17 years at Anfield, winning a host of different trophies.
Despite never winning the Premier League, Gerrard is regarded by many as the best midfielder to ever player in England. Gerrard was a box-to-box midfielder by trade and offered great value in both defense and attack.
He was blessed with a wand of a right foot and has scored several unbelievable goals from outside the box. His passing was unparalleled and he also displayed incredible determination and excellent leadership ability.
Gerrard was instrumental in the side's UEFA Champions League win in 2005. He also won the FA Cup twice and League Cup thrice with the Reds.
