Liverpool are heading into the 2023/24 season with eight senior midfielders as things stand.
Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have already joined the Reds this summer as part of a long-awaited midfield revamp, and will be complemented by Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Stefan Bajcetic.
Such a total is admittedly down on last year, when Jurgen Klopp called upon the services of 11 different senior midfielders, though that figure rises to 15 if we wish to include Trent Alexander-Arnold, Cody Gakpo, Roberto Firmino and youngster Bobby Clark.
