The hard-fought nature of Liverpool's 2-1 win over Southampton last Sunday—with Simon Mignolet featuring prominently again—recalled memories of last season's opening-day victory over Stoke City, which set the foundation for a scintillating Premier League campaign.
This time around, though, the pressure on the Reds is just slightly stronger, the expectations just slightly higher. Manager Brendan Rodgers will be looking to kick his side into gear and rediscover the momentum, form and confidence that saw them win so many plaudits last season.
News that Mario Balotelli may be on his way to Anfield from AC Milan, according to Ben Smith of BBC Sport, would be the icing on the cake for Reds fans, who have seen their team break th e £100 million spending mark on eight players this summer transfer window.
If they are to take that next step and win silverware this season, here are five keys to success that Liverpool should keep in mind throughout the campaign.
