The Liverpool captain was restored to his preferred box-to-box midfield role, a self intimated change as revealed by the manager and it turned out to be a masterstroke.

In the business end of the season, Fabinho sealed his place in the center of the park and Henderson's qualities were deemed perfect for one of the free midfield roles in front of the Brazilian.

The 28-year-old also contributed with goals and assists in the title run-in, most notably coming on against Southampton and producing a match-winning cameo.

Klopp's unwavering faith in his captain means he's an automatic starter for the forthcoming season and the former Sunderland man will have to be at his best if Liverpool are to topple Manchester City.
