That win means they have won their opening two Premier League games of the new season and would be keen to win a third. Liverpool has also started their campaign well with two wins from two even though they added just one player to their squad in this transfer window. They have welcomed back long-term absentees, Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk to their squad.
