Jürgen Klopp is in the midst of a crucial pre-season as he bids to lead Liverpool back to the upper echelons of the Premier League table.

The Reds were disappointing from start to finish in 2022/23 and could only finish fifth, which means a season outside the riches of the Champions League awaits.

Revamping the midfield was already the top priority for Klopp, but the scale of his overhaul has increased as captain Jordan Henderson looks set to join Anfield legend Steven Gerrard at Ettifaq FC, and Fabinho is also attracting interest from Saudi Arabia.

Liverpool did move quickly to sign their major transfer targets in the engine room, however, with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai already through the door and reaping the benefits of being involved in pre-season from the off.

Klopp and co kicked off their preparations for the new campaign with a trip to Germany for friendlies against 2. Bundesliga sides Karlsruher SC and Greuther Fürth.

From there, they make the lengthy trip to Singapore for a pair of games at the National Stadium against relegated Leicester and Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich before returning to England for the last friendly on their schedule against Darmstadt at Deepdale.

As well as getting his players fit enough to return to their gegenpressing best, Klopp will see this pre-season as an opportunity to fine-tune his tactics so his side are ready to hit the ground running in their Premier League opener at Chelsea.
