After a near-miss last season and a positive summer, Liverpool look ready for another strong campaign under Jurgen Klopp.
The memories of the Reds' Champions League final defeat in May have faded as a new-look outfit plots a dual assault, both domestically and on the continent.
Klopp's side are being tipped by many to provide the strongest challenge to Premier League champions Manchester City this season, with four impressive new arrivals and the core of the side which impressed so often last term.
Liverpool have goals, they have pace and they have energy. Klopp will hope their transfer business in the close-season has given them greater solidity and depth, too.
