Sadio Mane's off form in the last campaign was a huge concern for Liverpool. Fans and critics alike will be relieved that Mane has sprung back to life and has been at his very best since the start of the new season.

The Senegalese winger has already bagged five goals in the 2021/22 campaign, with four of them coming in seven Premier League games. Mane's pace and precision on the left flank is back to its very best, helping Liverpool break defensive barriers with ease.

As evident from the statistics, the 29-year-old has been a constant problem for the opposition. On the left wing, Mane loves to run into space and his efforts have helped Liverpool attack, outscore and dispatch opponents ruthlessly.

#2 Trent Alexander-Arnold

One of the best right-backs in world football at the moment, Trent Alexander-Arnold is in a league of his own. Alexander-Arnold is a force to be reckoned with on the right flank with his perfect mixture of defensive skills and attacking threat.

The 23-year-old is at the peak of his powers and has demonstrated his ability so far this season. With extraordinary pace, Alexander-Arnold's defensive strength is immense but it's his attacking threat which separates him from other defenders.

The full-back's ability to make darting runs forward and combine with Mohamed Salah upfront has made him invaluable for Liverpool. His efforts have helped him rack up three assists in all competitions in the 2021-22 season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is currently nursing an injury but will be hoping he is back soon.

#1 Mohamed Salah

Joint top scorer in the Premier League, Mohamed Salah has been the talisman for Liverpool so far this season. The Egyptian forward's explosive form since the start of the season has seen the Reds still unbeaten in the Premier League and Champions League.

There is no doubt that a player of Mo Salah's caliber can change a tie in the blink of an eye. The 29-year-old has singlehandedly decided matches with his abilities - his unstoppable runs and penchant for scoring goals making him seem like a force of nature.

Salah has racked up nine goals and three assists in all competitions, with six of his goals coming in the English top flight. The right-winger has not just been the best player for Liverpool but the best in the Premier League so far this campaign.
