Liverpool first-team coach Alex Miller says the new-look side are determined to get off to a good start this season.
The Reds have been busy in the transfer market this summer as they look to mount a serious title challenge.
Liverpool continue their pre-season preparations this weekend in the Rotterdam Tournament and Miller knows the side need to get off to a good start if they want to pose a threat to Manchester United and Chelsea this season after disappointing starts in the last two campaigns.
"In the last two seasons we haven't made good starts but hopefully it will be different this year.
"We have made one or two changes to our training programme which we believe will help us start really well.
"The competition is so tough in England that it's so important you get off to a good start and that will be our aim from the moment we kick off at Aston Villa.
"We have added some players who we believe will help us be a better squad and we are hoping they gel really quickly with the rest of the squad.
"I'm not stupid enough to say this is going to be our year or that we're going to win it, but we will certainly be challenging. We have a good set of players and we will take some beating."
Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt is looking forward to making an emotional return to Feyenoord after leaving De Kuip for Anfield last summer.
"The other Liverpool players have asked me about Feyenoord, the club and what to expect from the crowd," said Kuyt.
"I have told them they can expect something special and I am certainly looking forward to the game and my return to Rotterdam.
"It is almost one year ago now that I left, and I am certainly happy to be back here to play this weekend.
"I want to show the crowd as well as myself that I am a better player now."
