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

You might not agree but a team of superstars always needs a leader – that one player to do the leg-work and less applauded side of the game. After arriving from Sunderland in 2011, it took Jordan Henderson time to adapt to life at Anfield. But after captaining his side to a Champions League win last term, the England international is on the verge of doing the same in the Premier League. Consistent and reliable, the Reds have always performed better this term when the 29-year-old has played (he missed the defeat at Watford). Stats wise Hendo has played 25 times in the Premier League, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
