Nobody would have predicted that Liverpool would make the Champions League final last season.

Jurgen Klopp's side defied all the odds to reach the showpiece in Kiev, but it ended in disappointment as Real Madrid won 3-1.

After recruiting Fabinho, Naby Keita, Xherdan Shaqiri and goalkeeper Alisson in the summer, the Reds find themselves more equipped to be serious challengers this season.

Most have tipped the Merseyside outfit to be the biggest contenders for the Premier League crown alongside reigning champions Manchester City.

It is so far so good for Liverpool as they have won all four of their league matches and currently sit at the top of the table.

The Champions League kicks off next week and Liverpool face a tough challenge as they face Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade in their group stage.

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has raised an interesting debate by telling The Times that the Reds should consider exiting the Champions League early and focus on domestic matters.

Is Neville right to make that call, or should both competitions be of equal importance for Liverpool?
