The title defence begins now.
After a historic campaign that saw Liverpool finally claim a Premier League title, the Reds are back to work and aiming to stay on top of the English soccer hierarchy.
The first challenge for Jurgen Klopp's men is newly promoted Leeds United, witch visits Anfield as a Premier League club for the first time since 2004. It's been a long, ugly road back to the top flight for Leeds, but under manager Marcelo Bielsa the team finally regained its position among the 20 best clubs in England.
Leeds' feel-good story aside, Liverpool will be considered huge favourites in Saturday's match. A well-oiled machine under Klopp, the opportunity exists for the Reds to put a stamp on the new campaign by dominating the Premier League newcomers in the season opener.
