We took a trip down memory lane to see just how the Reds have started over the course of the last decade.
Spurs 2-1 Liverpool - Barclays Premier League - August 2009
A Steven Gerrard penalty wasn't enough to prevent Liverpool from slumping to a 2-1 reversal in what many have since identified as a key encounter in the battle for a top four finish at White Hart Lane.
The Skipper looked to have got the Reds back on track when he levelled from the spot after debutant Glen Johnson's marauding run had been brought to an unceremonious halt by home stopper Heurelho Gomes.
However, Sebastien Bassong nodded home a deserved winner just three minutes later after Benoit Assou-Ekotto had given Harry Redknapp's side the lead with a blockbuster on the strike of half-time.
Liverpool's cause wasn't helped by a central defensive injury crisis that was made worse when Martin Skrtel had to make way following a collision with Jamie Carragher. It meant 18-year-old Daniel Ayala was forced into the fray for his league debut on an otherwise forgettable day for those in red.
Sunderland 0-1 Liverpool - Barclays Premier League - August 2008
Fernando Torres drilled home a magnificent solo effort to provide Liverpool with the perfect start at the Stadium of Light.
The Spanish striker snatched a hard-fought victory from the jaws of a yawning bore draw when he collected Xabi Alonso's incisive pass just outside the centre circle and sizzled a 25 yard shot beyond the despairing dive of Craig Gordon.
It was the highlight of an insipid opening day clash in which the hosts enjoyed the better of the play until Nando struck seven minutes from time.
Aston Villa 1-2 Liverpool - Barclays Premier League - August 2007
Liverpool ended a run of four opening day fixtures without a victory courtesy of Steven Gerrard's sensational late free-kick at Villa Park.
The skipper curled home a dramatic 87th minute winner via the crossbar after the home side had threatened to snatch a draw through Gareth Barry's penalty.
It capped an impressive overall performance from the visitors who dominated throughout and should have had more than Martin Laursen's first-half own goal to show for their endeavour.
Rafael Benitez handed a trio of new recruits their debuts with Fernando Torres looking particularly sharp in attack. Ryan Babel and Andriy Voronin featured as substitutes.
Sheffield United 1-1 Liverpool - Barclays Premier League - August 2006
Robbie Fowler saved Liverpool's blushes after the newly-promoted Blades had threatened an opening day shock at Bramall Lane.
Rob Hulse put the Yorkshire outfit in front with a close range header before the man the fans nicknamed 'God' steered home a controversial second-half penalty and ended the home side's hopes of marking their topflight return with a victory.
Debutant Fabio Aurelio did go close to nicking it for Rafael Benitez's men but his clever free-kick crashed back off the woodwork.
Liverpool would have to wait a further seven games for their first away win of the season.
Middlesbrough 0-0 Liverpool - Barclays Premier League - August 2005
Liverpool endured a frustrating afternoon at the Riverside after failing to mark a dominant performance with a victory.
Steven Gerrard was the Reds' star man, continuously tormenting the Boro' defence, only to find that fate was conspiring against him.
A typical burst from midfield could have seen him open the scoring in the first 45, but Ugo Ehiogu had other ideas, bringing the No.8 crashing to floor and duly receiving his marching orders.
However, the visitors could not make their numerical advantage count and Middlesbrough held on for a point.
Spurs 1-1 Liverpool - Barclays Premier League - August 2004
Djibril Cisse struck his first league goal for Liverpool but it wasn't enough to claim a victory for Rafael Benitez on his Barclays Premier League bow in the dugout.
The club's record signing at the time stabbed home the opener from close range but was denied a winner by Jermaine Defoe's clincial finish 19 minutes from time.
Liverpool 1-2 Chelsea - Premiership - August 2003
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink ensured a new era at Chelsea Football Club got off to a winning start at the expense of Liverpool back in 2003.
The Dutch forward jinked his way into the area and fizzed a shot into the bottom corner as a Reds side that was missing Steven Gerrard through suspension, struggled to impose themselves.
Juan Sebastien Veron had given the Blues a dream start in front of the Kop and the hosts rarely looked like getting back into the contest until they were awarded a penalty in the second-half.
Michael Owen missed his cue but made no mistake second time around, after referee Steve Bennett ordered a retake.
It wasn't enough though, as Hasselbaink pounced soon after to send the travelling support - and Roman Abramovich - into raptures.
Aston Villa 0-1 Liverpool - Premiership - August 2002
John Arne Riise emerged as Liverpool's hero against the Villans after the Reds had contrived to miss a whole host of chances at Villa Park.
The Norwegian coolly slotted home a near post winner after Gerard Houllier's team had dominated throughout.
It was a day to forget for Michael Owen, however, after he followed up a profligate performance with a missed penalty.
Liverpool 2-1 West Ham - Premiership - August 2001
Michael Owen struck a superb brace as Gerard Houllier's treble winners got the league campaign off to a winning start at Anfield.
The diminutive forward took his tally to six in three matches - including the Champions League qualifier and Charity Shield match - to help the home side see off a stubborn Hammers outfit.
The Reds' No.10 opened the scoring with a crisp finish on 19 minutes after Gary McAllister's neat flick had sent him racing in on Shaka Hislop's goal.
However, West Ham fought back and were level at the interval thanks to Paolo Di Canio's cheeky penalty.
It looked the home side would be forced to settle for a frustrating draw until a moment of brilliance saw Owen side step two and smash a shot in off the far post with just 12 minutes left on the clock.
Liverpool 1-0 Bradford - Premiership - August 2000
Emile Heskey got Gerard Houllier's new-look Reds off to a flyer with a devastating solo goal to sink Bradford City at a sun-drenched Anfield.
The former Leicester forward turned his man in the area before thundering an unstoppable drive into the top corner on 67 minutes.
It was no more than the Reds deserved on an afternoon when Houllier blooded Markus Babbel, Nick Barmby and Gary McAllister.
It was a solid showing from the hosts but not a performance that would have many predicting that they would go on to have one of the most significant seasons of the modern era.
