There will be several stars that take the pitch on Saturday when Liverpool squares off against Ipswich Town in the Premier League.

Today, we take a look at some of the biggest names to make sure you follow them closely from start to finish.

Liverpool

Mohamed Salah - When isn't he the man to watch?! Mo Salah is in imperious form this season, scoring his 22nd goal of the season against Lille in midweek.

The Egyptian winger has already matched last season's league tally and is only two goals away from the magical twenty.

Dominik Szoboszlai - Szoboszlai was sorely missed in Liverpool's recent mini slump and looks sharp and positive since his return from illness.

The Hungarian was rested midway through the second half so he should be fresh and ready for the return to league action.

Darwin Nunez - Nunez may not have scored midweek but his all-action performance added to his match winning brace last week against Brentford.

The speedy forward is desperate to hold down a regular spot in the team and with another injury for Diogo Jota, he will be keen to take his chance.

Harvey Elliott - Another man who impressed from the bench last season, Harvey Elliott has been in good form since his return from injury.

Albeit via a big deflection, the youngster scored in the midweek win over Lille, adding to a fine second half display.

Ipswich

Liam Delap - Ipswich's player of the season so far, Delap has been leading the line like a seasoned number nine.

The youngster has eight goals despite Ipswich's struggles and has been knocking on the door for an England call up with his displays this season.

Leif Davis - Flying full-back Leif Davis has played every minute of Ipswich's league campaign so far and carries a constant threat on the left.

The Twenty-Five year old recorded eighteen assists in last season's promotion winning side and may look to exploit Liverpool's forward thinking full-backs.

Jack Clarke - Jack Clarke is one of a number of exciting young attackers in the Ipswich side. The youngster impressed from a young age at Sunderland and is continuing to improve.

Whilst he is yet to score in the league, Clarke did open his Tractor Boy account in recent cup action.

Kalvin Phillips - Once costing £50m, Kalvin Phillips is still trying to shake his lowly Man City career and get back to the midfielder who once started the European Championship final.

The former Leeds man has been showing signs of form in recent weeks and is well rested after being unable to feature against his parent club last week.
