Jordan Henderson would complete 400 appearances for the club if he starts against Porto in their upcoming Champions League clash. The midfielder had to endure some criticism during his early years at the club but he has proved his naysayers wrong with his performances in the last few years.

Henderson has stepped up to the plate on the big occasions for the Reds. He scored an exquisite goal against AC Milan in their opening match of the CL campaign to clinch all three points. His experience in the middle of the pitch has been a great asset to the club in good times and bad.
