Jürgen Klopp pledged motivation will not be an issue as Liverpool aim to follow up seasons in which they claimed 97 and then 99 points in the Premier League.
The Reds were crowned champions last term having found a way to increase their tally by two after finishing runners-up in the previous campaign.
Their defence of the title – or, rather, attack on the next one as Klopp describes it – will begin in a fortnight’s time, though they could first land silverware on Saturday when they face Arsenal in the FA Community Shield.
During his media preview of the contest at Wembley, the manager was quizzed on the methods he’ll employ to ensure his players can try to maintain such remarkable consistency.
