Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits his team has surprised him after their 3-0 win against Southampton.
Never before have the Reds won each of their opening seven fixtures in a season – a feat they achieved on Saturday as an own goal by Wesley Hoedt was added to by Joel Matip and Mohamed Salah.
Klopp remarked: "I lost one time in my life seven games in a row and that felt different, to be honest. But then we won game No.8 5-0, which was very cool! Yes, it's a surprise because of course you cannot expect it, but all performances we showed so far were at least good enough to win the games.
"All the different challenges with the different styles of the opponent, the boys were there. They were really in the situation and in the different games, so that's good. But now the next one is coming on Wednesday and then coming again on Saturday and then again on the Wednesday.
"That's now a really short week we have and then the period ends with a nice game against Man City! It will be tough, but for all of us, so that's absolutely OK. It is better to win these games than draw them or lose them, but I am really sure we are mature enough to understand it in the right way."
