Liverpool travel to Tottenham Hotspur for their opening Premier League game, and captain Steven Gerrard thinks the awkward fixture will be good for the club.
"You expect it now with [Rafael Benitez] in charge," Gerrard told LFC Weekly Magazine, bemoaning the club's tendency to start fresh campaigns away from Anfield. "I don't think he's ever had a home game to start the season in all his time at the club.
"But I think that if you take a step back and look at it in detail, there are benefits to beginning the season away from home," he continued.
"If you can achieve three points knowing you've then got two games to come in front of your own supporters [it's a great boost]."
Gerrard admitted Liverpool are aiming to make a quick start to the campaign.
"The start to the season's always crucial because you can build momentum quickly," he explained.
"They're all tough games, you don't get easy games in our league, but if we could get three points from each of the first three games, then that would be us off to a flier, and that will be our intention."
