The Reds go to Ipswich on Saturday afternoon in Arne Slot‘s first aggressive recreation in cost, because the post-Jurgen Klopp period begins.
Expectations are at all times excessive for the season forward, regardless that there have been large adjustments this summer season, however is a Premier League title problem out of the query?
Listed here are This Is Anfield‘s common contributors’ Liverpool predictions for the 2024/25 season – who do you agree and disagree with?
Matt Ladson
Predicted end: third
Prime goalscorer: Diogo Jota – Slot can maintain him match and he’s the perfect ahead for his model.
Participant of the 12 months: Alexis Mac Allister – offered he isn’t taking part in No.6 once more.
The most important concern is…the dearth of a correct holding midfielder (once more) and squad depth in winter.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson, Trent, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai, Salah, Jota, Diaz
This season I’d be proud of…prime 3 and a few very clear enhancements.

Jack Lusby
Predicted end: 2nd
Prime goalscorer: Mo Salah
Participant of the 12 months: Harvey Elliott
The most important concern is…what seems to be ripping up the academy depth established beneath Jurgen Klopp.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Elliott, Diaz; Jota
This season I’d be proud of…a trophy and a convincing title problem.

Joanna Durkan
Predicted end: 2nd
Prime goalscorer: Salah
Participant of the 12 months: Mac Allister
The most important concern is…if Liverpool’s damage historical past doesn’t enhance.
New coaches and totally different medical opinions will come into play, however we’ve been stricken by so many points in recent times that I’m very cautious.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Any individual, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Diaz, Jota
This season I’d be proud of…consolidating our prime three spot – I’m open to it being greater! – and a strong cup run.
The rest and it is going to be a really welcome shock – it’s very a lot a season with reasonable expectations.

Sam Millne
Predicted end: third
Prime goalscorer: Salah
Participant of the 12 months: Mac Allister
The most important concern is…like we noticed with Jurgen Klopp, Slot and his employees must be taught to take care of the schedule, all whereas persistently profitable.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Diaz, Jota.
This season I’d be proud of…clear development because the season goes on. Outcomes sensible, prime three, a trophy and a deep run into the Champions League

Henry Jackson
Predicted end: third
Prime goalscorer: Salah
Participant of the 12 months: Mac Allister
The most important concern is…no pure No.6. YET AGAIN!
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent; Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Diaz, Jota.
This season I’d be proud of…third place at worst, a home cup and a usually optimistic first step beneath Slot.

James Nalton
Predicted end: third, or 2nd, or… possibly…
Prime goalscorer: Salah. In all probability because of his penalty duties. Jota would possibly equal him on open play.
Participant of the 12 months: Jota
The most important concern is…wait till the top of the switch window, however not having various targets in key positions that Slot appears to have specified, particularly defensive midfield, can be worrying.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez; Endo (or new 6), Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Diaz, Jota.
This season I’d be proud of…one of many FA Cup or Champions League, ideally each, and proof a title problem can nonetheless be mounted.
@JDNalton
Karl Matchett
Predicted end: 2nd
Prime goalscorer: Salah
Participant of the 12 months: Van Dijk
The most important concern is… no sale of a senior participant once more and no contracts tied up. We will’t keep aggressive if we let starters go without spending a dime.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez and presumably Diaz.
That being stated, I truly suspect Gakpo will match very nicely on the left-hand facet on this setup.
This season I’d be proud of… a cup ultimate and the perfect defensive document within the league to construct from subsequent 12 months.
