How to align list items this way?

Question

I'm having difficulty aligning things correctly on the nav-bar. I want the words (home, players, about, contact) to be vertically aligned to the middle of the heart logo.

This is what it looks like now:

I want it to look like this (did it on Photoshop)

The code I have right now is:

body {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 15px;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  line-height: 1.5;
  background-color: whitesmoke;
}

.container {
  width: 80%;
  margin: auto;
}


/* Header */

header {
  background: black;
  color: whitesmoke;
  padding-top: 30px;
  min-height: 50px;
  border-bottom: #fe1d61 4px solid;
}

header a {
  color: whitesmoke;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 16px;
  font-weight: bold;
}

header ul {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0 0 20px 0;
  list-style-type: none;
  text-align: center;
}

header li {
  display: inline;
  padding: 0 100px 0 100px;
  height: 30px;
}

<body>
  <header>
    <div class="container">
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
          <li><a href="players.html">PLAYERS</a></li>
          <li>
            <a href="index.html"><img src="img/00nation_logo.png" width="60px"></a>
          </li>
          <li><a href="about.html">ABOUT</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">CONTACT</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </div>
  </header>
</body>

Sorry if there has already been a question made about this same thing, but I tried looking it up and couldn't find anything.

Try this & change your li CSS:

header ul li{
    display: inline-block;
}

You can apply vertical-align property on your image to move it to the middle of others. Try this:

style="vertical-align: middle;"

For that you need to add some more CSS like

header li{
    display: inline;
    padding: 0 100px 0 100px;
    height: 30px;
    vertical-align: middle;   // add this line
    line-height: normal;      // add this line
}

Check on Full Screen

body{
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    font-size: 15px;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

    background-color: whitesmoke;
}
