John Arne Riise praises Liverpool duo Adam Lallana and James Milner

John Arne Riise believes the form of Adam Lallana and James Milner is a major factor behind Liverpool's success this season.

The Reds are level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City after nine games and have reached the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup and Riise, who spent seven seasons at Anfield between 2001 and 2008, winning the Champions League and FA Cup, has put some of that down to the impact of Lallana and Milner.

"Adam is probably the one player that has surprised me and impressed me the most this year," Riise told Sky Sports.
