VIDEO: Steven Gerrard's a HUGE Alexis Mac Allister fan! Liverpool legend picks Argentine ahead of Declan Rice & Ryan Gravenberch but Rodri remains the midfield king

In an exclusive interview with GOAL, Gerrard was asked to pick between several Premier League midfielders in a winner-stays-on game. At the start of the Q&A, the Liverpool icon picked Kobbie Mainoo over Leeds' Archie Gray, but in the next battle, he opted for Morgan Gibbs-White over the Manchester United star. In the third question, Chelsea's Moises Caicedo replaced the Forest midfielder, but from there onwards, Gerrard sided with Mac Allister.

Gerrard picked Mac Aliister in his next five answers, as the Argentine got the nod over Caicedo, Bruno Guimaraes, Reds team-mate Gravenberch, compatriot Enzo Fernandez and Arsenal star Declan Rice. However,  when Mac Allister was pitted against Manchester City talisman Rodri in the final round, the former England midfielder said, "Has to be Rodri, Ballon d'Or."

Mac Allister kicked off the new season with an assist in Liverpool's opening-day win over Bournemouth and has played a key role in their perfect start across all competitions. Arne Slot's side will be back in Premier League action away at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
