Liverpool defender Virgil van DIjk says the club are not getting carried away with their flawless start to the season.

Saturday's win over Sheffield United made it seven from seven for Jurgen Klopp's men.

"It's the media who love statistics," said the Dutchman. "The reality is we have nothing at the moment. We want to continue to do well and there's still plenty of room for improvement."

Van Dijk added: "No. It's far too early. We're almost in October and the busy period will come. There are still so many games left and the only thing we focus on is the game ahead of us.

"We don't want to look at the others because there's no point doing that. Everyone realises that as well because last season we saw how it turned quickly. We just want to focus on the game ahead of us."
