Liverpool could be fielding a rather different looking lineup next season if their summer transfer window goes to plan, with some big names linked with moves to Anfield as Brendan Rodgers looks to get the Reds back among the main title challengers in the Premier League next season.

Liverpool transfer news
Another big priority for the Merseyside giants will be keeping Raheem Sterling at the club as his contract issues continue to drag on, and here’s a look at how Liverpool’s best XI could look next season after a dream transfer window…
GK: Petr Cech
Possibly set to leave Chelsea, Petr Cech would make a superb signing in goal if he makes the surprise move to Liverpool in the summer.
DC: Emre Can
A superb young defender who has had a great first season at Anfield, Emre Can should remain part of the back three next term.
DC: Martin Skrtel
Another player improving in Liverpool’s new 3-4-3 formation, Martin Skrtel should remain one of the three centre-backs.
DC: Mamadou Sakho
Completing a strong backline, Mamadou Sakho has had a good second season with the Reds and doesn’t need replacing.
MC: Jordan Henderson
New club captain, Jordan Henderson starts in midfield for Liverpool and should only continue to get better for the club as he grows into the role.
MC: Miralem Pjanic
A world class playmaker linked with the Reds from AS Roma, Miralem Pjanic could be a superb replacement for Steven Gerrard in this position.
MR: Raheem Sterling
Despite interest from several top clubs, Liverpool will be hoping that Raheem Sterling continues as part of their starting lineup next season, though recent games suggest he may have to settle for a spot as a right wing-back.
ML: Alberto Moreno
On the opposite flank, Alberto Moreno has had a good first season with Liverpool and looks promising in this wing-back role.
FR: Marco Reus
In a fairly free role behind the main striker, Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus could add some real quality to the Liverpool squad if they win the race for his signature.
FL: Philippe Coutinho
In a roaming role on the left, Philippe Coutinho continues as a key performer for Liverpool as one of their main creative outlets.
FC: Karim Benzema
An ambitious target, but Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has been linked with Liverpool and would be a superb signing to replace Luis Suarez upfront, and improve upon the injury-prone Daniel Sturridge.
