West Ham's Mark Noble believes Steven Gerrard narrowly edges out Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard when it comes to which of the three midfielders were better.
The trio of England internationals dominated the Premier League for over a decade with Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea respectively.
Boasting a range of similar attributes, the three midfielders were hard to separate for quality on the pitch but having played against all of them, Noble concedes the crown must go to the former Reds captain.
