Right wing: Sadio Mane

Mane has been one of the best signings of this summer with the Senegal international proving to be a bargain for Liverpool despite his £30 million price tag. His blistering pace has provided problems for the opponents and in a small span of time, Mane has emerged as Liverpool's most important player. With three goals and two assists, Manchester United will have a big headache in the form of Sadio Mane.

Left wing: Philippe Coutinho

One of the best players to watch in the Premier League, Coutinho has continued his good form from last season and has delivered match-winning performances this season too. His work rate too has been improved under Klopp and deciding between him and Anthony Martial or Marcus Rashford is a no contest at the moment. With four goals and two assists to his name, Coutinho is one of the first names on this team sheet.

Striker: Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Ibrahimovic started his stint in England on a high with goals coming in debut for him in every competition but has faded in the last month or so. On his day, though, the Swede is cut above the rest and must be included in the lineup for his sheer experience and brilliance on a football field. A shrewd player with fine touched, Ibrahimovic edges out Sturridge who has found it tough to get a regular starting spot for Liverpool.
