5. CM: Fabinho

Aside from his Liverpool and Brazilian teammate Roberto Firmino, Fabinho has surely got to be one of the most underrated footballers in the Premier League.

His transfer from Monaco went completely under the radar in the summer of 2018 and it would take a while before he became a regular starter under Klopp but once he did, everyone took notice.

Fabinho is your typical no nonsense defensive midfielder. Strong, menacing and very difficult to play against, he has added further solidity and quality to a Red's midfield already packed with talented starts. Although other CDMs like Fernandinho, N'Golo Kante and Sergio Busquets earn more plaudits, Fabinho is arguable just as good.

A key cog in Liverpool's dominant machine at just 26, the best is surely still yet to come from the Brazillian.
