Liverpool defender Joe Gomez: We prefer being underdogs

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez insists no-one inside the squad sees themselves as title favourites.

Despite now being the "team to beat" in the Premier League and on the continent, Gomez has revealed the Merseyside club don't quite see it like that.

“Obviously it's a label that's given now that we achieved what we did last season," Gomez told Liverpoolfc.com.

"I think the main thing in our minds is that we still see ourselves as underdogs, we still see ourselves as a hungry team that hasn't achieved what we want to achieve yet.

“There's still so much more to do and to surpass what we did last season. I think the main thing is that our mindset is in the right place and whatever is said after that is not up to us."
