And as the clock ticks down on Jurgen Klopp's time as manager, so Liverpool continue to press ahead with their attempts to win a treble.

With only 10 Premier League games remaining, just goal difference separates the Reds from leaders Arsenal, with the League Cup already in the trophy room and a Europa League quarter-final against Atalanta on the horizon.



The relentless injury list has meant Liverpool have had to rely heavily on almost every senior member of their squad this season, along with an increasing number of Academy graduates.

The ECHO has rated Liverpool's squad throughout the 46 games they have played in all competitions this season, marking them out of 10 for every appearance in which they played for at least 15 minutes.

And here we assess the campaign of each player who has thus far made 20 scoring appearances, using their average ratings as a guide.

The men who have impressed

For good reason is Virgil van Dijk (average rating 7.25) considered among the front-runners for the PFA and Footballer of the Year awards.

With only a couple of exceptions, he has been in imperious form since the start of December, the highlight being his matchwinning showing in the League Cup final.

Mohamed Salah (7.09) may not have featured much this year due to injury but has been in excellent attacking form overall with 21 goals and 13 assists, while Alisson Becker (7.08) was arguably Liverpool's player of the year until injury struck six weeks ago.

Alexis Mac Allister (6.82) began the season as an emergency number six but has in recent months stepped up in a more accustomed advanced role, while the versatility of Joe Gomez (6.82) has made him almost indispensable this term.

Dominik Szoboszlai (6.81), who started the season strongly before fading slightly given the demands of a debut Premier League campaign, will hope for an injury-free run-in, while the goalscoring exploits of Diogo Jota (6.81) have twice been hampered by lengthy spells in the treatment room.

Ibrahima Konate (6.77) lost his place after the opening few weeks but is now first-choice alongside Van Dijk whenever available, while, after an alarming start to his Liverpool career, the form of Wataru Endo (6.77) as the defensive midfielder from December onwards has been hugely encouraging.

Curtis Jones (6.68) has been an integral part of midfield in between his injuries and suspension, while Andy Robertson (6.60) will hope his latest injury setback doesn't rule him out for an extended period having already missed more than three months with a shoulder problem.

Could do better

Kostas Tsimikas (6.45) struggled for rhythm in the opening months and then, having found his feet, joined the lengthy absentee list.

By Klopp's own admission, Cody Gakpo (6.33) hasn't been helped by having to occasionally plug gaps in midfield with the growing reliance on the Dutchman during the worst of the injury crisis exhausting the player.

Ryan Gravenberch (6.18) hit the ground running after his summer arrival but then hit a notable block for several months.

However, he was improving until being injured in the League Cup final win over Chelsea.

Of those who haven't featured enough to gain an qualifying average rating, Bobby Clark (7.14) is clearly set for a bright future while Conor Bradley (7.12) burst on to the scene and is managing to maintain his level.
