How the Top 6 are shaping up heading into the new Premier League season

Liverpool

The sheer joy of Jürgen Klopp's eccentricity

The charismatic Jürgen Klopp has given Liverpool Football Club a new impetus with free flowing football on display. Liverpool secured fourth place after much huffing and puffing with an opportunity to rub shoulders with Europe's elite in the Champions League, again. Boisterous in attack, Liverpool have an unmatched work rate that Klopp has trickled into the Reds' veins, similar to what was seen during his time with Dortmund.

A young Liverpool side will now look to scale greater heights in the upcoming campaign. With the addition of Salah, Liverpool look to have added another mazy runner that will supplement the existing workaholic stable. But Liverpool's sore point continues to be their defence.

Finding it hard to close the signature of Virgil Van Dijk, Liverpool are heading into their new challenge thin at the back. Enigmatic Klopp has given Merseyside a tireless team but similar in nature to the Dortmund of the past where it often became a battle of 'we shall score more than the opposition does'.

Jordan Henderson and Emre Can will need to provide the much-needed guile for Liverpool's forward line to pepper the opposition. There's no taking away that Klopp has improved the Anfield outfit but in the battle to the top, he will need his defence strengthened. The last dream left unfulfilled was the joyous Brendan Rodgers side of season 13/14, and now with hopes pinned on Klopp's formidable shoulders, can the Kop rise to the occasion?
