Liverpool, 2019-20 Premier League winners, have been one of the best teams in the league this season. On current form, their winger Mohamed Salah is the best player in world football right now.

After enduring a disappointing 2020-21 campaign, Liverpool have bounced back strongly. Liverpool made just one big acquisition this summer, signing French centre-back Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig. Despite the limited investment, Klopp's men have managed to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea.

The return of Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip from serious injuries has certainly helped, while Salah has looked unplayable this season. Liverpool are currently fourth in the league, four points behind league leaders Chelsea.


#2 Chelsea (85.6%)

#1 Manchester City (87.3%)

It would have surprised few to notice that a Pep Guardiola side tops this list. His insistence on keeping the ball is well documented.

Manchester City have the players to implement Guardiola's style of play. Even their starting goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes, is renowned for his comfort on the ball. City have world-class technical players capable of causing havoc with their ability on the ball.

Manchester City are currently second in the league, three points behind league leaders Chelsea. They are among the favourites to lift the Premier League and the Champions League. Guardiola will be especially keen to win the latter competition, having reached the final of the tournament last season.
