With the start of the Premier League just around the corner, the ESPN FC crew assess Liverpool’s chances of besting Manchester City this season.
With all their new faces under the same roof for the first time, Liverpool had their raft of new signings perform karaoke as a mass initiation ceremony at their training base in France.
Alisson kicked off with an Oasis classic, before Virgil van Dijk stunned his audience into silence with a subdued rendition of the slightly obscure Fabolous track “Into You” from 2003.
Xherdan Shaqiri then got things back on track by belting out a bit of Bob Marley (an Anfield terrace favourite) before Naby Keita managed to get Daniel Sturridge up and dancing with a lively African number.

As things wound down for the evening, Alisson returned to the stage to close the show with an intimate acoustic number, sung in Portuguese, for which the Brazilian goalkeeper supplied his own guitar.
All in all,this newly assembled Reds squad was a musically gifted bunch — except for Fabinho, who was hopelessly out of tune having been almost entirely overcome by stage fright beforehand.
