Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says they're staying calm after establishing an eight-point lead at the summit of the Premier League.
The European champions defeated their title rivals Manchester City 3-1 at Anfield last Sunday to boost their chances of winning a first league title since 1990.
“It’s just the start, that’s how it is, everybody knows that,” Klopp stressed on Liverpool's official website.
“If you would have told me that you can have 34 points at this stage of the season, wow! It’s pretty much impossible but we did it".
Star attacker Mo Salah is sitting out the international break with an ankle injury and Klopp is hoping that more injuries won't be picked up by his players over the next couple of weeks:
"Now the boys go for the last international break of the year. They have to come back healthy. You saw it how intense it was against City. Hopefully they all come back healthy and then we go to Crystal Palace.
"I think the last games are somewhere on the planet on Tuesday in the week that we play on Saturday against Crystal Palace.
"So they will fly back on the Wednesday, Thursday have a recovery session and Friday, Saturday 'Hello, Crystal Palace'.
"That's the situation so nothing happens so far but it's still the best situation we could have asked for so let's hope we can carry on."
