The new Premier League season begins this week. And at least, unlike last year, it seems as though there has been a bit of a break between campaigns.
And Liverpool will have a lot of catching up to do after a dismal 2022/23 campaign saw them deposed early as League Cup and FA Cup holders, fail to reach the Champions League quarter-finals and, most damagingly, drop out of the top four for the first time in seven years.
Renowned for being one of the most unpredictable leagues in the world, predicting how the campaign will play out is no simple task.
