Virgil van Dijk was appointed the new club captain after the departure of former captain Jordan Henderson. The Dutchman also became Liverpool's second non-British or Irish captain after Sami Hyypiä, who was appointed in the 2001–02 season. Trent Alexander-Arnold also replaced James Milner as vice-captain.

This season is the first since 2010–11 without Jordan Henderson, the first since 2014–15 without James Milner and Roberto Firmino, the first since 2016–17 without Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and the first since 2017–18 without Naby Keïta and Fabinho.

This is also Liverpool's final season under Jürgen Klopp, as the manager announced his intention to step down at the end of the season on 26 January 2024.

On 25 February 2024, Liverpool beat Chelsea 1–0 in the EFL Cup final to win their tenth League Cup and second under Jürgen Klopp.
