Four Liverpool players have been named the best in the world in their respective positions, in [ESPN FC 100](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/blog-espn-fc-united/story/3990866/espn-fc-100-liverpoolman-city-dominate-our-ranking-of-worlds-best-soccer-players).

The countdown takes a look at the 10 best individuals on the planet in each area of the pitch over the past year.

Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson are all chosen as No.1 in their position, outlining what a remarkable back-line Jurgen Klopp has created.

Sadio Mane is ranked second behind Raheem Sterling when it comes to the best wingers, while Fabinho, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino are also included in their categories.

Alisson pipped Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak, while Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk and Robertson were ahead of Joshua Kimmich, Kalidou Koulibaly and David Alaba respectively.
