Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are in the spotlight today

With pre-season preparations now done and dusted for all 20 Premier League sides, the new campaign is within touching distance.

Liverpool start their season at Norwich on Saturday evening and former Reds forward Neil Mellor has spoken exclusively to LiveScore about how he thinks his old club will fare in 2021-22.

We also have our usual dose of transfer rumours and the latest news from the biggest sports around. 

Mellor eyes Liverpool title tilt

A comfortable 3-1 victory over Osasuna saw Liverpool wrap up their warm-up matches at Anfield last night but what lies ahead for Jurgen Klopp’s side in the coming months?

Now a regular face on Sky Sports, the ex-striker offers insight into what may have caused Liverpool to struggle during last season’s title defence and why he expects things to improve at Anfield this time around.
