Ranked! Liverpool’s best chance creators of 2023/24 – Elliott and Nunez stand out

Liverpool’s most productive chance creators for the 2023/24 campaign include many that fans would expect, and some that would perhaps come as a surprise.

The Reds’ season is nearing its conclusion, with only one game left before the club bids farewell to Jurgen Klopp after eight-and-a-half years.

With third place in the Premier League already guaranteed and only the Carabao Cup in the bag following a quadruple push, there will be mixed emotions after the final day.

But Klopp and his staff will attest that Liverpool are ahead of schedule when it comes to the rebuilding of the squad.
