Brendan Rodgers has hailed James Milner and Jordan Henderson as the perfect midfield duo that could lead Liverpool to their first Premier League title.
Henderson was handed the captain's armband after the departure of Steven Gerrard to Los Angeles Galaxy, with summer signing Milner named as the vice-captain earlier this week.
"Obviously Jordan has been appointed the captain, but I think James will be a great ally for him, because he leads by example. In terms of the captaincy and vice-captaincy, I think it can work really well for us," Rodgers told Sky Sports News.
"James is someone I have admired from the outside for a long time. He has played at this level since he was 16, gone around and played for some fantastic clubs, and went to Man City and did a great job. I think he can really add something to our team.
"He's got great experience, is great technically and has great ability. I think this season, he'll be a big player for us. I think it (experience) will only help, especially the younger lads. He's won trophies and played at the highest level for club and country. He's a great bonus and addition to the team - I'm sure all of us will learn from him."
The Reds begin their campaign against Stoke City on Sunday.
