Liverpool became the latest Premier League winners in 2019-20 when they captured their first league title in 30 years.
The Reds may not have had as much success in the Premier League era as some other clubs, but Jurgen Klopp and co. are determined to change that this season.
The only unbeaten team in the English top flight this season, Liverpool are trailing league leaders Chelsea by a solitary point after seven games. The Reds are looking for a second Premier League title in three years.

Liverpool have had some fine players and prolific scorers across positions play for them over the years.
On that note, here's a look at the highest-scoring Liverpool XI in the Premier League era. A 4-3-3 formation has been considered for this hypothetical XI.
Without further ado, let's get started.
Note: All stats are taken from Transfermarkt or Premier League unless mentioned otherwise.
# Goalkeeper - Alisson Becker (1 goal)
Alisson Becker is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League at the moment.
Since arriving from AS Roma in the summer of 2018, the Brazilian has been like a breath of fresh air at Liverpool. Alisson has played a key role in the Reds winning the UEFA Champions League and Premier League in successive seasons.
Last season, Alisson became only the sixth goalkeeper to score a Premier League goal. His late winner against West Bromwich Albion made him the first Liverpool goalkeeper ever to score a goal in a competitive game.
Alisson has made a fine start to his 2021-22 campaign, keeping four clean sheets in seven games. He now has 50 clean sheets in over 100 Premier League games for Liverpool.
# Left-back - John Arne Riise (21 goals)
John Arne Riise is one of the most prolific goalscoring full-backs to grace the Premier League.
The Norwegian played over 300 games, most of them with Liverpool, during a decade-long stint in the competition. Proficient at both ends of the pitch, Riise was a terror for opposition defenses because of his aerial prowess and ability to score from distance.
He scored many a memorable goal for Liverpool, especially in the Premier League. Riise made a rousing start to life in the English top flight, netting 13 times in his first two seasons.
He enjoyed his most prolific Premier League campaign in 2000-01, his first in the English top flight. Playing in all 38 league games, the Norwegian scored seven times and also provided four assists.
# Centre-back - Sami Hyypia (22 goals)
Sami Hyypia is widely regarded as one of the best Liverpool defenders of the Premier League era.
The Finn played over 300 Premier League games for the Reds during a successful 10-season stint with the club. Hyypia had a presence at both ends, adeptly marshaling the Liverpool rearguard and also scoring key goals up front.
He scored at least once in each of his 10 seasons in the Premier League.
Hyypia's most prolific Premier League season in front of goal was in 2003-04, when he played all 38 games and netted four times.
# Centre-back - Martin Skrtel (16 goals)
Martin Skrtel enjoyed a successful near decade-long Premier League stint with Liverpool. He played nearly 250 games in the competition, scoring in all but two of his nine campaigns with the club.
A solid presence at both ends, Skrtel scored 16 Premier goals for Liverpool and also provided five assists. He enjoyed his most prolific league campaign in 2013-14, scoring seven times, as the Reds narrowly missed out on the Premier League title.
Now at Spartak Trnava, the 36-year-old has won league titles in Russia and Turkey either side of his stint with Liverpool.
# Right-back - Trent Alexander-Arnold (8 goals)
Trent Alexander-Arnold is arguably one of the best attacking right-backs in the game at the moment. Together with Andrew Robertson, he forms one of the most devastating full-back partnerships in the history of the sport.
Still only 22, Alexander-Arnold is one of two Liverpool right-backs to have scored eight goals in the Premier League. But it is Alexander-Arnold (0.06) who gets the nod over Glen Johnson (0.05) because of his superior goals-per-game ratio.
The young Englishman doesn't score as much as he provides assists. He did score four times in Liverpool's triumphant 2019-20 Premier League campaign, though.
Now into his sixth Premier League campaign, Alexander-Arnold already has 36 assists to his name.
Alexander-Arnold is yet to open his league account for the ongoing campaign, but he has already registered two assists.
# Central Midfielder - Steven Gerrard (120 goals)
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is one of the finest midfielders to have graced the Premier League. The Englishman is one of only two Liverpool players to score over 100 goals in the competition and is the only midfielder to do so.
Gerrard was largely a one-club man, spending his entire 18-season Premier League stint with Liverpool. The elegant midfielder scored goals and provided assists aplenty during his illustrious career.
One of the best Liverpool players never to have won a league title, Gerrard enjoyed his most prolific Premier League campaign in 2008-09. The Englishman scored 16 times and also assisted on 11 occasions.
He registered a career-best 15 assists in the 2013-14 campaign, but Liverpool endured a late implosion and were pipped by Chelsea to the league title.
# Central Midfielder - Jamie Redknapp (30 goals)
Jamie Redknapp is one of the most prolific goalscoring midfielders for Liverpool in the Premier League.
He scored 41 goals in all competitions for the club, including 30 strikes in the Premier League. Redknapp was a consistent performer for Liverpool, scoring at least one league goal in each of his nine campaigns for the Reds.
In his most prolific Premier League campaign in 1998-99, Redknapp scored eight times and also provided three assists.
# Defensive Midfielder - Paul Ince (14 goals)
Paul Ince is one of a handful of players in the Premier League era to have played for both Liverpool and Manchester United.
The two-time Premier League winner played only two seasons at Liverpool, but he endeared himself to the club faithful by netting key goals.
Ince is one of two Liverpool defensive midfielders with exactly 14 league goals. But Ince (0.22) finds a mention ahead of Xabi Alonso (0.1) because of his superior goals-per-game ratio.
Ince's most prolific Premier League campaign with Liverpool was in 1997-98, his first at the club. He scored eight league goals and also provided six assists that season.
# Left Winger - Sadio Mane (78 goals)
Liverpool's Sadio Mane is one of the finest wingers in the Premier League currently.
One part of the Reds' attacking triumvirate of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, Mane has been a prolific scorer in the Premier League. He has scored at least 10 league goals in each of his seven previous campaigns in the competition, five of them with Liverpool.
Mane has scored four league goals this season. His strike against Crystal Palace made him the first Premier League player to score in nine consecutive games against the same opposition.
The Senegalese, who now has 99 Premier League goals, played a key role in Liverpool's triumphant 2019-20 league campaign, scoring 18 times and providing nine assists.
The previous season, he netted 22 times in the league as Liverpool were narrowly pipped to the Premier League by a rampant Manchester City side.
# Centre-Forward - Robbie Fowler (128 goals)
Robbie Fowler is Liverpool's most prolific goalscorer in the Premier League. He is one of only two Reds players to net over 100 goals in the competition.
Fowler is the third-most prolific goalscorer in Liverpool history and is one of only four players to score at least 20 Premier League goals as a teenager.
He scored at least three league goals in each of his 11 Premier League campaigns with Liverpool.
Fowler enjoyed his most prolific Premier League campaign with Liverpool in 1995-96, when he scored 28 times and also provided five assists.
# Right Winger - Mohamed Salah (101 goals)
Mohamed Salah is arguably one of the best wingers in the game at the moment. The Egyptian has been a force to reckon with since his return to the Premier League with Liverpool in 2017.
Salah, who has scored at least 19 league goals in each of his four full seasons with Liverpool, recently scored his 100th Premier League goal for the club.
Earlier this season, Salah became the first player in Premier League history to score in five consecutive opening-day games in the competition.
A goal poacher and creator par excellence, Salah has racked up 101 goals and 39 assists in over 150 Premier League games for Liverpool.
He enjoyed his most prolific league campaign with the Reds in 2017-18, his first at the club, netting 32 goals and providing 11 assists.
