That is the opinion of their boss Kenny Dalglish at least, who believes that his work in the transfer market has made the Premier League's top clubs view them in a different light.
Liverpool have spent around £24.5 million so far this summer to sign midfielders Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam, and manager Kenny Dalglish is confident that those additions have changed their perception among rivals at the top of the Premier League.
He said: "We're good enough to put on a good performance against any team. We'll try our best to do that. The most important thing for us is how other teams are looking at Liverpool. Other teams see Liverpool as a bigger threat."
Odds of [12.5] on the Reds topping the Premier League and [2.22] on them claiming a top-four finish to return to the Champions League suggest that he has a point, though this writer would argue that it is the ambition shown rather than the actual players purchased so far that has had that impact.
After all, few would argue that Henderson and Adam are additions that hugely raise the bar despite the hefty price tags, especially in a side where captain Steven Gerrard, reigning player of the year Lucas Leiva and the highly regarded Raul Meireles already provide solid central midfield options.
However, the fact that they are suddenly in a position to spend big amounts on talents that either aren't the finished article or aren't yet proven at the top level indicates that they mean business, and as far as Dalglish is concerned, there is plenty of work still to be done.
