Right back: Jon Flanagan
The youngster has worked his way up the ranks in the Liverpool academy but hasn’t featured as he would have liked this season through injury. Once fit again he will surely continue his impressive development in the starting XI.
Centre-back: Martin Skrtel
The Slovakian has been a consistent performer since arriving at Liverpool back in 2008 and has proved to be one of the top central defenders in Europe, coveted by many.Centre-back: Mamadou Sakho
Brendan Rodgers is likely to persevere with the France international centre-back due to the £18 million fee spent on him. Has been curtailed by injuries since his 2013 arrival but has undoubted talent and could be a big player for Liverpool given a run in the side.
Left-back: Alberto Moreno
22-year-old marauding full-back and Spain international has impressed for the Reds so far this season and will be looking to be in the side for many years to come due to his tender age.
Left-central midfield: Jordan Henderson
The 24-year-old England international has got better and better since signing for Liverpool and is set to be a very important player for both England and the Merseyside club in the future. With six assists and three goals already this term he has a bright future.
Central defensive midfield: Ruben Neves
If reports in the Express, are to be believed Liverpool could be closing in on Porto wonderkid Ruben Neves who has been described as the ‘new Sergio Busquets’ by team-mate Cristian Tello. The 17-year-old is already a regular starter at the 27-time Portuguese champions and is set to shine at the top table of football.
Right-central midfield: Lars Stindl
According to the Star, Liverpool are planning a raid of Hannover and are to sign two of their players. One of which is attacking midfielder Lars Stindl who has been mentioned as a Steven Gerrard replacement. The 26-year-old has made 114 Bundesliga appearances and scored 11 goals for the German club.
Right wing: Raheem Sterling
The jet-heeled winger has been touted as the best young prospect in the world and won the European Golden Boy award for 2014, an award previously won by Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi. If Liverpool are to challenge at the right end of the table it is imperative they keep hold of their prize asset.
Centre forward: Daniel Sturridge
The England striker has had torrid luck with injuries so far this season but by August may well be fit again. After his 21 league goals he came runner up in the 2013/14 Premier League Golden Boot and one would think he needs to recapture this form if the Reds are to be serious contenders.
Left-wing: Danny Ings
The Burnley hotshot has been the subject of intense media speculation regarding a move to Anfield this month. In order to be accommodated in a fully fit Liverpool side though he may be forced to play from a wide position which could limit his opportunities.
