Tyler Morton - 5: 19-year-old played a couple of times with Liverpool short in midfield. Didn't look out of place. AP Photo
Mo Salah - 7.45: What a player and what a season he's having. The Egyptian is not only scoring regular goals but scoring great goals, such as those against Man City, Watford and recently against Chelsea. Will be sorely missed while at the African Cup of Nations. EPA
Alisson - 6.11: No dramatic, last-minute headers so far and has made a few costly mistakes - notably against Tottenham - but still among the league's best. Reuters
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 6.56: As creative as ever with nine assists already, plus a couple of goals including a belter against Newcastle in December. EPA
Virgil van Dijk - 6.39: Is he the player he was before his injury last season? Mostly, yes, and Liverpool have conceded just 18 goals from their first 20 league matches. Getty Images
Joel Matip - 6.60: Has enjoyed regular action and fans buzz when he goes on his dribbles out of defence. Cemented as first choice alongside Van Dijk. EPA
Andrew Robertson - 6.14: Not quite as creative as fellow full-back Alexander-Arnold, but has contributed five assists so far and continues to gallop up and down the left side. Sent off against Tottenham for a wild kick. EPA
Jordan Henderson - 6.28: Remains the heartbeat of the side and has chipped in with a couple of goals. Getty Images
Fabinho - 6.21: Has been in and out of the side so far with Jurgen Klopp unable to call upon a settled midfield. The team noticeably struggle when he is not present. Reuters
Thiago Alcantara - 6.27: Liverpool have won nine of the 11 matches he has appeared in and need the pass-master to stay fit in the second half of the season. Scored a beauty in the Champions League versus Porto. Getty Images
Sadio Mane - 6.45: Endured a nine-game goal drought before opening the scoring at Chelsea this week. Has netted eight in the league and remains a key cog. Will be missed while away at AFCON with Senegal. AP Photo
Roberto Firmino - 6.09: Frustrating season so far, despite a hat-trick against Watford. Injuries and Covid have meant he has been upstaged by Diogo Jota. Will need to step up in the absence of Salah and Mane. AP Photo
Diogo Jota - 6.00: Should we be surprised by his return of 10 league goals so far? Fast and good in the air, he has, at times, been a revelation, though is not the complete package just yet. Getty Images
Kostas Tsimikas - 6.56: The Greek left back has performed ably in Robertson's absence and has become an important squad member. Getty Images
James Milner - 5.54: The old man of the Premier League is still going, but for how much longer? Continues to provide cover in various positions but was given a torrid time by Manchester City's Phil Foden while playing right back. EPA
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 5.71: His career has stalled in recent times and is nowhere near the England squad as a result. Has failed to nail down a regular spot in midfield and when he does start is often subbed off.
Naby Keita - 6.3: Outstanding in the rout against Manchester United but still hasn't been a midfield mainstay. Only 64 Premier League appearances across four seasons. Linked with a move to Barcelona. EPA
Harvey Elliott - 6.75: It was all going so well for the youngster who shone in midfield before a nasty injury at Leeds. Now closing in on a return and should be a major star of the future.
Joe Gomez - 5.67: Just three appearances and down the pecking order in defence. Wouldn't be short of offers should he move on. EPA
Ibrahima Konate - 6.29: Big, strong and mobile, the new signing has impressed at times. Will do well to dislodge Matip and Van Dijk. EPA
Divock Origi - 7.5: The super sub's time on pitch has been restricted yet again but he's chipped in with a couple of important goals.
Curtis Jones - 5.5: Occasional appearances and will hope to get more action with Keita away at AFCON. Remains a bright prospect. EPA
Caoimhin Kelleher - 7: Has played twice in the league this season and has moved ahead of Adrian as second choice. Did fine in the high-pressure clash with Chelsea. EPA
Neco Williams - 7: Solitary league appearance against Watford. Understudy to Alexander-Arnold unlikely to get a regular game and may benefit from a loan move. AP Photo
Takumi Minamino - 5.4: Another who may need to step up while Salah, Mane and Keita are away. Scored against Arsenal and has been more influential in the League Cup with four goals. Getty Images
