Style of Play: 4-3-3
Jurgen Klopp defines Liverpool’s style of play as ‘heavy metal football’, and it’s hard to disagree with him. With intense counter pressing and lightning counter attacks, The Reds netted 147 goals last season and led the Premier League with 443 high turnovers. Full backs Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold are absolutely key to both the attack and defence of the team as they look to create chances and support Liverpool’s forwards, while not neglecting their defensive duties.
First Five Fixtures
| Fulham (A) | Last time Fulham were in the Premier League (2021-22 season), The Cottagers held Liverpool at home and beat them at Anfield. |
| Crystal Palace (H) | Liverpool have a great record in this fixture and have won their last 11 Premier League matches against Palace. |
| Manchester United (A) | Liverpool achieved an incredible 9-0 aggregate win over Man United in the league last season. |
| AFC Bournemouth (H) | AFC Bournemouth have never beaten Liverpool at Anfield. |
| Newcastle (H) | Newcastle haven’t beaten Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield since 1994. |
Liverpool signed Darwin Nunez for a club-record fee and they’ll be hoping the Uruguayan striker can hit the ground running following the departure of Sadio Mane. The 22-year-old bagged 26 goals in the Primeira Liga last season and a similar tally in this campaign would undoubtedly boost The Reds’ title credentials.
Predicted Finish: 2nd
Despite achieving their highest ever win percentage last season and amassing 92 points, Liverpool still came up short in the Premier League title race. Manchester City [JL1] pipped Liverpool to the title by a single point and it’s hard to see any other sides rivalling these two this season.
With Mo Salah putting pen to paper on a new contract, and the addition of Darwin Núñez to the forward line, the Reds are likely to run riot against many Premier League teams this season. Liverpool’s strength in depth is the highest quality of the Klopp era and they’ll undoubtedly be targeting the title this season.
Have Liverpool got what it takes to claim their 20th title, or will Manchester City prove too strong again?
Did you know?
Virgil Van Dijk is yet to experience a league defeat at Anfield. The Dutchman past Lee Sharpe’s previous benchmark of 59 last season and Liverpool’s No.4 has now clocked up 65 top-flight home matches without defeat – a Premier League record.
