Liverpool continue their pre-season preparations this week with what Reds boss Jürgen Klopp calls the "next step" against Mainz.
Klopp will meet up with his former employers FSV Mainz when Liverpool play them on Friday evening.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Klopp discussed the reunion as well as his team's continued progress ahead of the new season:
