Georginio Wijnaldum hasn't been replaced and key men have question marks over their Anfield contracts... but whisper it quietly, Jurgen Klopp has had one of his best pre-seasons since arriving at Liverpool as he plots how to reclaim the Premier League

Manchester City will be favourites to win the Premier League in the 2021-22 season and that's before impending arrival of Jack Grealish and potentially Harry Kane.

But pundits and fans salivating at the prospect of how Pep Guardiola's men will line up next season might just be the perfect distraction for Jurgen Klopp, who is quietly overseeing a close to idyllic pre-season for Liverpool.

The Reds worked closely with the Austrian government to sort their camp in Salzburg from July 12. They spent nearly three weeks there in a bubble and are now in Evian, France before returning to Merseyside ahead of their Premier League opener against Norwich on August 14.
