Jurgen Klopp’s first full season in charge of Liverpool has got off to a sensational start.

The Reds are top of the Premier League having won eight of their opening 11 games and losing just once, which was a frustrating 2-0 defeat away at Burnley back in August.

Impressive victories over Arsenal and Chelsea have got many talking about whether or not Klopp’s side can sustain a title challenge and, if they keep scoring goals at the rate they are, there’s no reason why they can’t.

Liverpool are the top-scorers in the division this season with 30, four more than the next best Chelsea, and the Reds go to Southampton on Saturday looking to remain top of the league by recording a fourth consecutive league win.

Klopp’s men are also into the last eight of the League Cup, having beaten Tottenham 2-1 in the last round, and the Anfield faithful will fancy their chances of progressing to the semi-finals when they hosts Leeds at the end of the month.

However, with international football taking centre stage this week, we at Shoot! have had a look back on Liverpool’s history, and selected their TOP THREE strikers of all time…

3) Michael Owen

Although the likes of Robbie Fowler and Roger Hunt have very strong cases for this position, Michael Owen just gets the nod.

The Englishman does so because of how important he was for a Liverpool side that won five trophies in the 2000/01 season, and the fact it all happened in his late teenage years.

Owen became the Reds’ main striker at just 17-years-old, and he went on to score 158 goals, 118 of which were in the Premier League, in 297 games for Liverpool.

He broke the 20-goal barrier in five of his seven full seasons at Anfield and, although he is seventh in Liverpool’s all time goal-scorers list, he squeezes into third place here.

2) Kenny Dalglish

Kenny Dalglish is a place above Owen in the all time goal-scorers list, having netted 172 times in 515 games for the club between 1977 and 1990.

However, Dalglish is a Liverpool legend and widely regarded as one of the best strikers the club has ever seen, helping lead the club to six First Division titles and three European Cups in his time there.

Dalglish took over as player-manager in 1985 and did a terrific job, and it’s his love for Liverpool and incredible prowess and instincts in front of goal that see him in the top three.

1) Ian Rush

The undoubted winner of this accolade, Ian Rush is comfortably Liverpool’s greatest ever striker.

The Welshman scored 346 goals in 660 appearances for the Reds, and in his time two stints at the club won five First Division titles and two European Cups.

Rush struck up a sensational partnership with Dalglish at Anfield, with the two of them helping power the club to six First Division titles in the 1980s.

Rush, who is Wales’ top goal-scorer with 28 goals for his country, was top goal-scorer in eight seasons at Anfield, including five of six between 1981 and 1987, and scored a sensational 47 goals in 1983/84 – a season tally that has never bettered in the history of the club.

Liverpool’s all time top goal-scorer, and certainly their best ever striker, Rush is a Kop legend.
