Tiago Ilori
Arguably the player who most needs to shine. Ilori cost Liverpool £7m two summers ago, but despite arriving with a glowing reputation and as a regular for Portugal Under-21s, Rodgers hasn’t given him a single minute of first-team football yet, loaning him out twice. Ilori was excellent for Portugal U-21s at this summer’s European Championship though, and having overcome his injury problems, we’ll surely get a chance to see him in red before the season starts. If he really impresses, Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho and Dejan Lovren will be looking over their shoulders.
