“I believe that facing each other this early is not necessarily what we or Liverpool wanted because normally you would want three, four or five games before the big games come up”.
Manchester United made global headlines on Tuesday after they announced the signing of Paul Pogba for £89m, breaking the world transfer record set by Gareth Bale’s £85m move to Real Madrid in 2013.

Hazard is 40/1 (41.00) to be top goal scorer and the Blues are 11/2 (6.50) for the Premier League title at bet365. The North London outfit will also be looking to challenge for the league title.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s side should have enough to challenge for a Champions League spot. And squeaking past Tottenham at the death to finish second can not disguise the fact that they should be starting this season as reigning champions.
