This upcoming season guarantees to be an intriguing one at Liverpool, however how are This Is Anfield‘s writers predicting it to play out?
The Reds go to Ipswich on Saturday afternoon in Arne Slot‘s first aggressive recreation in cost, because the post-Jurgen Klopp period begins.
Expectations are all the time excessive for the season forward, though there have been large adjustments this summer season, however is a Premier League title problem out of the query?
Listed here are This Is Anfield‘s common contributors’ Liverpool predictions for the 2024/25 season – who do you agree and disagree with?
Matt Ladson
Predicted end: third
High goalscorer: Diogo Jota – Slot can hold him match and he’s the best ahead for his fashion.
Participant of the yr: Alexis Mac Allister – offered he isn’t enjoying No.6 once more.
The largest concern is…the dearth of a correct holding midfielder (once more) and squad depth in winter.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson, Trent, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai, Salah, Jota, Diaz
This season I’d be proud of…high 3 and a few very clear enhancements.

Jack Lusby
Predicted end: 2nd
High goalscorer: Mo Salah
Participant of the yr: Harvey Elliott
The largest concern is…what seems to be ripping up the academy depth established beneath Jurgen Klopp.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Elliott, Diaz; Jota
This season I’d be proud of…a trophy and a convincing title problem.

Joanna Durkan
Predicted end: 2nd
High goalscorer: Salah
Participant of the yr: Mac Allister
The largest concern is…if Liverpool’s damage historical past doesn’t enhance.
New coaches and completely different medical opinions will come into play, however we’ve been stricken by so many points in recent times that I’m very cautious.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Someone, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Diaz, Jota
This season I’d be proud of…consolidating our high three spot – I’m open to it being greater! – and a stable cup run.
Anything and it will likely be a really welcome shock – it’s very a lot a season with real looking expectations.

Sam Millne
Predicted end: third
High goalscorer: Salah
Participant of the yr: Mac Allister
The largest concern is…like we noticed with Jurgen Klopp, Slot and his workers should study to take care of the schedule, all whereas constantly profitable.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Diaz, Jota.
This season I’d be proud of…clear development because the season goes on. Outcomes smart, high three, a trophy and a deep run into the Champions League

Henry Jackson
Predicted end: third
High goalscorer: Salah
Participant of the yr: Mac Allister
The largest concern is…no pure No.6. YET AGAIN!
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent; Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Diaz, Jota.
This season I’d be proud of…third place at worst, a home cup and a typically constructive first step beneath Slot.

James Nalton
Predicted end: third, or 2nd, or… perhaps…
High goalscorer: Salah. Most likely due to his penalty duties. Jota may equal him on open play.
Participant of the yr: Jota
The largest concern is…wait till the tip of the switch window, however not having different targets in key positions that Slot appears to have specified, particularly defensive midfield, could be worrying.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez; Endo (or new 6), Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Diaz, Jota.
This season I’d be proud of…one of many FA Cup or Champions League, ideally each, and proof a title problem can nonetheless be mounted.
@JDNalton
Karl Matchett
Predicted end: 2nd
High goalscorer: Salah
Participant of the yr: Van Dijk
The largest concern is… no sale of a senior participant once more and no contracts tied up. We are able to’t keep aggressive if we let starters go free of charge.
Our greatest XI is: Alisson; Trent, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez and presumably Diaz.
That being stated, I really suspect Gakpo will match very nicely on the left-hand facet on this setup.
This season I’d be proud of… a cup closing and one of the best defensive file within the league to construct from subsequent yr.
