#1 Mo Salah
Salah's transformation from Chelsea flop to becoming one of the best players in the world in just under five years is the stuff of legend. The Egyptian international has grown in stature and influence since arriving Anfield in the summer of 2017 and his numbers in his debut season were groundbreaking. The former Basel man managed to score 27 goals in all competitions the following year despite being labelled a 'one-season wonder'.
This season has been less illustrious for the 27-year-old and he has been usurped by Sadio Mane as the Reds' most important player on the field. However, despite his relative struggles in front of goal, Mo Salah is still one of the most decisive players in the world and Sheffield United were first-hand witnesses of his lethal nature in front of goal.
He showed great instincts to finish a square ball by Andrew Robertson with the first touch in the 4th minute while he also played the decisive pass for Sadio Mane to put Liverpool 2-0 up 19 minutes into the second half. He was substituted for youngster Harvey Elliot in the 90th minute to a rapturous ovation by the Anfield faithful.
