The Reds have had some wonderful players since 1992 but who deserves inclusion in the club's best line-up from the past 28 years?

From the moment he walked through the doors at Anfield in the summer of 2018, Alisson made his presence felt.
The Brazilian had arrived for what was, at the time, a world-record transfer fee for a goalkeeper and it was immediately easy to see why. Commanding, calm and superb with the ball at his feet, Alisson transformed what had previously been a problem position into one of Liverpool's strengths.
He won the Champions League in his first season on Merseyside, added the Premier League in his second, and was the UEFA Goalkeeper of the Year for 2019.
A popular, charismatic figure in the dressing room, the former Roma man is already assured of his place in Liverpool history.

With the greatest respect to Steve Finnan, Markus Babbel and Glen Johnson, all of whom enjoyed success at Liverpool, there was no competition for this position.
Alexander-Arnold's rise from a skinny, at times petulant, midfielder into arguably the world's premier right-back has been as remarkable as it has been swift.
He only made his senior debut in 2016, but since then he has morphed into a superstar of the modern game, a Champions League and Premier League winner by the age of 22, and someone who, with his delivery and vision from full-back, is helping to redefine the role.
'The Scouser in our Team' sing the Kop, and he was the only choice for this one, too.

Never mind his success as a television pundit – and he's one of the best around, by the way – Jamie Carragher could play too.
No player has made more Premier League appearances for Liverpool than the man from Bootle, who finished with 508 between his debut in 1997 and his final outing in 2013.
Carragher emerged initially as a central midfielder and later featured at both right-back and left-back – winning a cup treble there in 2001 – before settling as a centre-back under Rafa Benitez.
He was a Champions League winner in 2005, and established himself as one of Europe's top defenders in that period, as a brilliant reader of the game, a superb communicator and top-class competitor.
It took Liverpool a long time to replace him after his retirement, which says it all.
GettyCB: Virgil van Dijk
At £75 million ($97m), he had to be good, didn't he? And he has been. Virgil van Dijk's arrival from Southampton in January 2018 instantly changed Liverpool from a good side into a great one.
The Dutchman scored on his debut – the winner against Everton, no less – but it has been his other qualities, such as his leadership, his talking, his composure, passing ability and aerial dominance, which have made him such a hit.
He has never looked anything less than at home at Anfield, winning the Champions League and Premier League, as well as the PFA Player of the Year award, in 2019.
The same year, he finished a close second to Lionel Messi in the Ballon d'Or awards. If that doesn't tell you how good he's been, nothing will.
