Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has revealed his top three midfielders in world football, singling out Manchester City’s Rodri, Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister, and Paris Saint-Germain’s Vitinha.
The former England captain made the selection during a quickfire Q&A with ESPN. When asked to name the best midfielders currently, Gerrard responded simply: “Rodri, Mac Allister and Vitinha.”
Rodri, who clinched the 2024 Ballon d’Or, was sidelined for months last season due to injury but remains a key figure in Pep Guardiola’s setup.
Mac Allister has quickly established himself as a driving force at Anfield, helping Liverpool secure the Premier League crown. Vitinha, meanwhile, played a starring role in PSG’s historic campaign, winning the Champions League, Super Cup, Ligue 1, and French Cup.
Meanwhile, respected journalist Henry Winter, has predicted a fierce three-way battle between Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City.
He praised Arsenal’s transfer window, highlighting the arrival of striker Viktor Gyokeres and the expected signing of Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.
“With Eberechi Eze incoming, and finally a No. 9 recruited in Viktor Gyokeres, this has been a seriously good window for Arsenal,” Winter wrote. “In quantity of quality, Arsenal now have the squad to sustain a challenge to Liverpool, who rightly remain favourites.”
He added: “Manchester City will push both Arsenal and Liverpool. It could be a great Premier League race. I’ve backed Liverpool win.”
