The Reds have enjoyed a considerable pre-season campaign as they secured wins over Real Betis, Arsenal, Manchester United and Sevilla.
The new Dutch manager seems to have gotten well in chemistry with the team from Merseyside and now it is time for them to churn out favourable results in the biggest stage.
Liverpool hold a remarkable record in the opening day matches as they are unbeaten in their last 12 such outings since losing 3-0 to West Brom in 2012-13.
