6. Glen Kamara - 8
Back to his dynamic best and covered every area of the pitch without ever seeming to stop. Got forward into more threatening goal-scoring areas and capable of adding to his two-goal tally this season. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group

Midfielder came onto a game in the last half hour and began to pick the passes going forward and control the game to close it out. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
8. Joe Aribo - 7
Pulled the strings in the midfield and tried to thread in Hagi, Morelos and Roofe ahead of him. But his hold-up play, footwork and threat continues to be an asset for Steven Gerrard. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
