Anything close to last season’s form and production will make him difficult to catch. His forward colleagues Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane both had great seasons but you also feel like that pair can hit another level. Will this be the season Firmino breaks 30 goals or Mane benefits from Salah being double marked?
In defense there is Virgil van Dijk who enters his first full season at Anfield. The Dutch colossus transformed the back four after arriving in January. If he kicks on he could well be the Reds’ star player come next summer.
New boys Naby Keita, Fabinho and Alisson Becker cost the club £150 million and will have high expectations. All three carry the potential to rock the Premier League in their debut seasons like Salah did last term.
