Harvey Elliott has been working with a specialist shooting coach as he looks to make a goalscoring impact with Liverpool this season.
Elliott will hope to continue his impressive form during the Far East tour when the Reds continue their warm-up programme at RB Leipzig on Thursday.
The 19-year-old spent time during the summer break being put through his paces by Scott Chickelday, the manager of Billericay Town who for the last three years has also worked as a shooting coach for players including Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins.

A video emerged during close season of Chickelday putting Elliott through his paces with shouts of encouragement as the youngster regularly found the target.
And explaining his methods, the coach said: "They want that repetition of shooting. A club might put a finishing session on but is that specific to the player? It might be specific to one player but the other five or six in that session need other stuff.
"The power of video is great. Sometimes players do not realise they are doing something until they see it. You can tell them but it is not until you show them. Ollie and Harvey do not mind that people know about all this but there are some players who do not want people to know they are putting that extra work in."
Chickelday previously coached Elliott for two years during the player's time in the Academy ranks at Queens Park Rangers.
Elliott has netted once in 20 appearances for Liverpool and managed only six starts last season having suffered a serious ankle injury shortly after breaking into the first team during the opening weeks. The teenager, though, is expected to be given increased opportunities this campaign, and is keen to improve his goal output.
"Shot choice is important," said Chickelday, speaking to Sky Sports. "We try to base a lot of the shot choices on goalkeeper movement so we use goalkeepers when we can. If we can't, we use a goal screen. We use different angles, different parts of the foot, different parts of the area.
"Harvey has got a bit of a wrap shot so we work a lot on that. With Ollie, we work on a lace shot. It is all different types of shots. At the level that they are at, we have to make sure the contact is clean and away from the goalkeeper if possible."
