'It's our pre-season' - Liverpool also preparing for 2020-21 Premier League season in training return, says Klopp

Jurgen Klopp says he is already preparing his players for next season as he expects the 2020-21 campaign to begin almost as soon as 2019-20 has finished.

Liverpool players began full contact training last week for the first time since the Premier League was shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic in March.

The Reds are 25 points clear at the top of the table and require just six more points to be certain of a first title in 30 years, with their first game back scheduled to be against Merseyside rivals Everton.
