Who have been Liverpool's best pressers and best tacklers in the Premier League this season? #LFC #LFCFamily

Only players with a minimum of 250 PL mins. this season make the list.
First off, let's look at which player looks to pressurise the opponents the most via pressures attempted p90.

In this tree-map, Keita stands out, attempting 27 pressures p90. Minamino and Jota aren't too behind also.
Now look at the efficiency of the players' pressing.

Unsurprisingly - and eye test backs this up also - Keita is very successful in his pressing, averaging 7.73 successful pressures thus far this season.

Minamino shows impressively on here as well, as do Jones and Jota.
Moving on to tackles, let's see who's attempting the most tackles p90 for #LFC this season.

Fabinho: in a league of his own. *pretends to be shocked*

Curtis Jones: with Fabinho playing in defence, Jones' presence in midfield has helped #LFC massively off the ball.
Finally, let's have a look at tackles attempted vs. successful tackles p90.

Further evidence Fabinho is in a different world compared to the other players. He's successfully won 2.37 tackles p90 out of the 3.07 tackles he's attempted this season.
Conclusion: Naby and Fabinho are boss.
