Liverpool missed out on a second Premier League title in the most agonising fashion on the last day of last season and Jurgen Klopp will be keen to ensure they do not meet the same fate again next term.
The Reds have invested wisely so far this transfer window and have even smashed their club-record fee after forking out £80m plus add-ons to secure the signature of former Benfica starlet Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan international has endured a mixed pre-season campaign so far, as have Liverpool as a collective.
Two wins and two defeats from four games is hardly faultless form, but Reds boss Klopp is hardly fearful of his side's fortunes ahead of the new season.
