Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion - Premier League

Mohamed Salah needs no introduction. Following his transfer from AS Roma in 2017, Salah's exploits for Liverpool have been the stuff of legends. His achievements at the club are a testament to his greatness and he will retire as a Liverpool legend for sure.

In addition to breaking a plethora of records, Salah has been the best forward in the Premier League for the last few years. The Egyptian genius is lightning quick with the ball, can dribble well, is efficient in front of goal and simply unstoppable at his best.

Salah has also proven himself to be a highly creative player for the Reds. His breathtaking runs on the right flank helps create space for his teammates. Moreover, Salah's ability to link up in the final third with Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane makes the trio deadly for opponents.

Salah has played a pivotal role in the four trophies he won with Liverpool, including one Champions League title and one Premier League title. In addition to his 140 goals for the Reds, the Egyptian winger has also racked up 53 assists so far.

The legendary midfielder was often the first to initiate attacks while dictating the tempo of the game with pinpoint precision. Blessed with immense technical ability, his ability to find his teammates was truly remarkable.

Alonso was also decisive from set-pieces and from shooting range. His equalizing goal against Milan in the Champions League final in 2005 is evidence of his greatness.

#1 Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard has etched his name in Liverpool's history and remains one of the most significant names in Premier League history. The legendary Englishman was renowned for his playmaking abilities from midfield, often elevating his level at the biggest moments of his career.
