Henderson insists Liverpool setting high standards for themselves

Jordan Henderson says Liverpool are setting high not standards for themselves and not their rivals.

The Reds remained the only team with a 100 per cent when they beat Burnley on Saturday.

And Henderson insists they are only concerned about setting high standards for themselves.

"We're not setting them for anyone else, we're setting them for ourselves. That's what we want to do," Henderson said.

"We want to win every week, we want to perform every week and that's difficult because there are so many good sides in the Premier League and in Europe. It's really hard.

"Again for us, it's game by game. We come up against different tests each week and it's about giving everything every time we go onto the football pitch and we will see where we are at the end of the season.

"For me it's just about concentrating on what we need to do. We have been very mature in our performances, especially away from home.

"We want to continue that form, keep doing the right things, keep working hard as a team. If we do that, we can put on performances like that."
