Liverpool will not get carried away regarding their Premier League title chances despite opening up a sizeable early lead at the top, Georginio Wijnaldum has insisted.
The Reds extended their advantage over Manchester City on Saturday as they defeated Leicester City at Anfield thanks to James Milner's injury-time penalty.
And the reigning champions' shock home defeat to Wolves on Sunday ensured they remain eight points adrift going into the second international break of the new season.
But, according to Wijnaldum, Jurgen Klopp's team aren't already thinking about the possibility of a first title in 30 years, with their focus instead on going game by game until May.
"We don't want to think we are already champions. That would be a really wrong thing to do," he told Sky Sports News.
"I'm sure the manager will keep us with our feet on the ground and say that we just have to think about ourselves, and try to play good and try to give 100 per cent every week.
"We just have to do what we did before and look at ourselves and not look too much to other teams because we don't have influence on other teams - we can't control the performance of other teams.
"We just have to make sure we are ready for the games that are to come and to make sure we are ready and try to have good results because we know that it can change quickly.
"Then at the end of the season we will see where we stand."
