​Liverpool fullback Robertson: Too early for title prediction

Liverpool fullback Andy Robertson is not in any rush to label his team title favourites.

The Reds have a six point lead over Manchester City after the first nine games of the season.

But Robertson knows there are so many match days to play, which means the league table can change drastically between now and May.

"There is a long, long way to go and there's going to be twists and turns," Robertson told LiverpoolFC.com.

"We are going [to] - and I'm sure everyone will - drop points up until the end of the season. It's such a competitive league that it's going to be so hard not to.

"But we are in the middle of October and a quarter of a way through the season. Would we have taken a six-point lead? Of course we would have, not even a doubt.

"We have had tough games and we have got more coming up, so we need to focus on what's in front of us because we didn't play at our best today.

"But we need to try to get back to our best and put in good performances that will win us games. The season isn't won in October, so let's see where we are in May."
