Steven Gerrard
The captain has been enjoying one of his best years at the club since first breaking into the senior setup back in 1997, but is just one yellow card away from a two match ban and will therefore need to be careful.
Jordan Henderson
A little like Flanagan the midfielder was a player not exactly highly rated at the start of the 2013/14 campaign and yet has proved all the doubters (most notably Sir Alex Ferguson) wrong with a great year.
Coutinho
It was a toss up between Joe Allen and the Brazilian, as we expect Rodgers to abandon the diamond formation of late for a home match in which his side are the favourites and for more attacking prowess, the 21-year-old gets the nod.
Raheem Sterling
Another who has really developed under the current boss and after starting from the bench against Cardiff should get a place in the starting XI ahead of Allen.
