An unconvincing point against Chelsea on the opening day of the season already feels lightyears ago for a rejuvenated Liverpool who have won four on the bounce in the Premier League.

After a mass exodus this summer and the loss of key stars in Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino and Fabinho, there were worries about how the Reds would bounce back from a disappointing fifth-placed showing last term.

So far, Jurgen Klopp's side look the real deal and supporters are beginning to feel the first signs of belief that a title challenge against Manchester City may once again be on the cards. With the help of Opta, LiverpoolWorld looks at the predicted final Premier League table this season to see if the stats experts think Liverpool fans have reason for optimism this year.
