Champion Liverpool not looking beyond tricky opener

Jurgen Klopp is well aware of the threat Leeds United pose as Liverpool begin their Premier League title defence on Saturday.

Liverpool won the top flight for the first time in 30 years last term, landing their first championship in the Premier League era in a dominant campaign.

They now face a battle to hold on to their crown, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all tipped to challenge.

But Reds manager Klopp is not looking beyond the match against Leeds, who have returned to the top tier as Championship winners after 16 years away.
