Liverpool’s top three players for dribbles, chances created, tackles & more

Liverpool have set the standard in the Premier League this season – but which of their players have led the way statistically?

We’ve compiled their top three players in a number of statistical categories, included chances created, successful dribbles and tackles.

All stats relate to Premier League only and are per 90 minutes. We have excluded players to have played fewer than 270 minutes in the Premier League this season.

Chances created

1. Trent Alexander-Arnold – 2.6
2. Naby Keita – 2.0
3. Mo Salah – 1.9

Dribbles

1. Naby Keita – 2.7
2. Sadio Mane – 2.1
3. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 1.9

One thing from last night – thought Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had his best game for Liverpool in a long time. Linked midfield to attack really well, drove the team forward; exactly what he’s in the side for. Hopefully a case of him fully getting back to his pre Roma-injury form.
