The Reds swept everyone aside last season but still went out and spent a colossal amount of cash on new players this summer
It's almost go time! After what has felt like a ridiculously short summer break, the Premier League returns on Friday, when Liverpool welcome Bournemouth to Anfield. The Reds romped to the title last season, and the concern for all of their rivals is that Arne Slot now has an even stronger squad at his disposal, with Fenway Sports Group (FSG) having spent big on a number of top talents, including Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.
Of course, Viktor Gyokeres is being touted as the prolific striker Arsenal have long needed to get them over the line, Chelsea are newly crowned 'world champions', while Manchester City have continued strengthening their squad. Consequently, a tighter title race is anticipated.
The big question is, though: can anyone stop Liverpool from winning a record-breaking 21st English championship? GOAL writers pick their title winners and top-four finishers.
