We've outlined each contender's memorable moments below - so have a read and then vote for your favourite.

The results will be revealed later in the month before we unveil the entire Team of the Decade on December 31.

Christian Ziege

An experienced German international whose arrival was seen as the best possible way to strengthen an already powerful back-line that included Babbel, Hyypia and Henchoz. Despite his obvious talent, Ziege struggled to live up to expectations at Anfield and was sold to Spurs after just one season, although he did net a crucial spot-kick in the successful 2001 League Cup final penalty shoot-out.

Jamie Carragher

With Carra excelling in a left-back role, Liverpool claimed an historic treble of trophies in 2000-01. The Scouser made 58 appearances for the Reds that season, and also operated in the position on occasion as Gerard Houllier's side claimed second place in the Premier League the following campaign.

John Arne Riise

The man responsible for spawning the recreation of a cheesy Euro-pop ditty on terraces up and down the country had a unique penchant for the spectacular - no-one will ever forget that free-kick against Manchester United. Riise made just shy of 350 appearances for the Reds, lifting the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League along the way.

Djimi Traore

Traore was the ultimate Jekyll and Hyde player. For Hyde, see his high-profile own-goal against Burnley as Liverpool suffered a shock Cup exit in 2004-05; for Jekyll witness his superb defending during the 2005 European Cup run - including many heroic interventions in Istanbul.

Stephen Warnock

Warnock was a solid, no-nonsense defender who graduated from the Academy. His big break came almost immediately after Rafa Benitez's arrival at the club and he went on to represent Liverpool 67 times before being sold to Blackburn.

Fabio Aurelio

Aurelio became the first Brazilian to sign for Liverpool in July 2006. No one in this category has more technical ability, though sadly the No.12's time in England has been punctuated by injury. It was not until the sustained title charge of 2008-09 that Kopites got to see what the defender could do on a regular basis. His free-kick past Edwin van der Sar in a 4-1 triumph at Old Trafford will live long in the memory, while Petr Cech also fell victim to Aurelio's deadly left foot in an ill-fated Champions League quarter-final with Chelsea.

Emiliano Insua

Snapped up from Boca Juniors, the diminutive Insua impressed in the reserve set-up at Anfield before breaking into the first team, and has since go on to hold down a regular position in Benitez's starting XI. Such has been his rapid progression, the 20-year-old recently won a first cap for his country.
