Jurgen Klopp's Reds look in excellent shape heading into the new campaign and should be Manchester City's main challengers for the title
As ever, a new season brings new optimism to Anfield.
This time, though, it could be well-placed.
Liverpool head into the new Premier League campaign with a spring in their step, Jurgen Klopp’s team boasting the kind of confidence and vibrancy usually associated with title contenders.
No wonder. It may be 28 years since the Reds were last kings of England, but rarely since then have they looked in better shape going into a season.
