Shoot!’s Manchester City-Liverpool combined XI

Centre-midfield: Jordan Henderson

Here we go! Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson is the first Reds star in Shoot!‘s combined XI.

Often underestimated, his presence and work rate in the centre of the park goes largely unnoticed as Liverpool’s flowing and exciting counter-attacking football dominates the headlines, especially with the likes of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino firing on all cylinders.

Henderson, 27, should be in good spirits after captaining his country (England) to back-to-back 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying wins over Malta and Slovakia during the international break.
