Dejan Lovren says Liverpool won't be affected by pressure this season.

Despite winning the Champions League last season, the pressure will be on Liverpool to go one better in the Premier League after finishing second behind Manchester City.

But Lovren insists his teammates aren't fazed by the prospects of ending the club's thirty year title drought.

"With the time we've been playing together already and being used to this pressure with all the games week by week – every three days you play for something – we managed," the defender told the club's website.

"There are quite a lot of players who stayed in this team, which is quite important. If we keep this focus for the next couple of years we can reflect on last season and hopefully win many more trophies.

"We are a team with special characteristics with fantastic individual players who can change the game in a second."
