Liverpool: Top 3 players of the Premier League season so far

3. Virgil van Dijk

It was a battle between Trent Alexander-Arnold and the big Dutchman for third place, but we’ve opted for VVD. Trent’s assists and attacking play from full-back has bordered on the unreal but without the towering centre-back marshalling the backline we feel the Reds wouldn’t be quite as comfortable as they are right now. As well has helping to keep goals out, the ex-Southampton star has also scored four league goals at the other end.
