Jurgen Klopp's men sent out warning shots to the rest of the league as they dismantled German giants Bayern Munich in the preseason tournament, the Audi Cup, 3-0.
Liverpool were in spectacular form as they made the Germans look pedestrian and pressured Bayern with their intensity and pressing football.
Liverpool were exceptionally effective on the break and sent out signs that should have Premier League defences aware with pace at the Reds' disposal with Sadio Mane, Mohammed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Daniel Sturridge coupled with the intricate passes of playmaker Phillipe Coutinho.
Liverpool have been undefeated in preseason so far, and put in an impressive performance albeit in a preseason friendly. The Reds' Achilles Heel would be their defence as they conceded 42 goals last term, but looked have it under control as they kept Bayern at bay and opened them at will.
Liverpool look like they will provide a stiff challenge for the opposition and give the rest of the top six a thing or two ponder over. They Reds will have their confidence boosted by the fact they didn't lose against the other top six sides last season. Liverpool did the double over Arsenal and won at least one game leg of each their encounters with rivals, with the exception of their two draws against Manchester United, but hit a snag losing to teams outside the top 8 sides in the league.
Whether they will be the title challengers that was seen on display on Tuesday remains to be seen, but you can guarantee that the Reds will be most likely the league's most entertaining side.
