James Milner has been in excellent form for Liverpool this season.
Rangers manager and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard believes that midfielder James Milner is in the form of his life.
The 32-year-old has been a permanent feature in the Reds starting XI this campaign and has helped them win their opening six Premier League games.
He is an experienced professional that has played at the top level for a number of years, but is enjoying a late surge in his career.
Milner continues to be an ever-present in midfield and is ensuring that summer signing Fabinho remains very much on the fringes for now.
Gerrard insists that the Englishman is a vital part of Jurgen Klopp’s side right now and is best playing some of his best ever football.
“Milner is causing them selection problems. He’s in the form of his life. On current form he is the first name on the teamsheet” Gerrard told BBC Radio 5 Live.
Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge on Saturday to face Chelsea and Milner is set to play a key role in the midfield.
He has a tireless work-rate and will need that to deal with opposite number N’Golo Kante in Chelsea’ midfield at the weekend.
Milner has also proven that he can provide an attacking threat, scoring two goals and supplying two assists already this season.
