Right winger: Mohamed Salah, Liverpool

Another Liverpool player who I probably don’t need to say too much about. Simply put, Salah has been one of the best players on the planet for about three years now. Even in a relatively quiet spell by the Egyptian’s standards, Salah has claimed the same number of goals and assists as Pulisic since the restart. 23 goals in all competitions this season make Salah’s selection an easy one.

Striker: Roberto Firmino, Liverpool

I could probably make a case for Olivier Giroud here, but if you’ve got Salah and Mane, it just makes sense to complete the all-Liverpool attack. Firmino may not have the most impressive goal scorer, just eight this campaign, but his importance to Liverpool has been clear. He allows the aforementioned duo to work magic and now that the Werner-to-Liverpool rumours have been laid to rest, the three musketeers will be looking ahead to an equally productive 2020/21 season.

Left winger: Sadio Mane, Liverpool

No place for the in-form Willian in this side, Sadio Mane is simply too good to leave out. Mane has managed 17 league goals this season, almost twice as many as the Brazilian. He has also claimed three goals since the restart and slots into this side without hesitation.
