Klopp has strengthen key areas of his team notably with the acquisition of Alisson between the posts and Naby Keita in central midfield and Liverpool could be on the brink of a defining season.
It has been a long 28 years since the Reds lifted a league title and many believe that wait could be over come next May.
Liverpool have undertaken an eight match pre-season, in which they have won six and lost one, with the last match being a 5-0 victory over Napoli in Dublin.
The way Liverpool ripped Carlo Ancelotti’s Serie A side to pieces in their penultimate friendly before the big kick-off next weekend is not going to help Klopp keep the lid on the optimism.
In fact, it is more likely to crank up the anticipation further with even the Liverpool manager certain to be thinking he might be just fighting a losing battle on that front.

“First of all I really hope our fans are in it with us, that they have an understanding,” said Klopp.
“We have shown a lot of good things in the last few years but it was never in one second easy and it will not be easy this season.
“If we win a game, we win a game and must win the next game as well, not be celebrating anything as if it is decided.
“I really believe our fans are spot on and know what is going on. It’s the people around us that are creating stories and I am not interested in that.
“We have high expectations of ourselves but our situation has not changed. Why should it?
“I do not see that United has got weaker, or City weaker. Tottenham have not sold a player and have stayed together.
“Arsenal and Chelsea will be stronger than last year. Everton are pushing from behind and Wolves have shown they are not shy to spend money.
“The League will be difficult. It is not about judging our situation and thinking, ‘really good’.
“We need to be ready each week, not only for a few games. That is our challenge.
“When I speak about not having crazy expectations, if we keep the atmosphere within the club from last year we have a chance of really big season and then we will see what happens.”
If this ominous statement of intent in front of a sell-out 51,512 crowd at the Aviva Stadium is a pointer then West Ham – visitors to Anfield on Sunday – better watch out.
Klopp reunited Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino for the first time since the Champions League final in Kiev.
And their threat helped catapult Liverpool into a fourth minute lead through James Milner – later led off with a horror head wound that needed 15 stitches
New Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson – a big hit on his debut – started the move with a stunning 65 yard pass but midfielder Naby Keita caught the eye too.
Goals from Gini Wijnaldum, Salah, Daniel Sturridge and Alberto Moreno completed the rout.
